I think my favourite boss battles were with Seymour in FFX. They were tricky enough that you would need to work your arse off to beat him unless you had powerlevelled, and my god it felt satisfying to beat him. There's a point where he pops up and summons anima, and the first time I tried to beat that I got my shit pushed in royally. And then later you have to fight the dark aeons. And wow are they tough. I think they were bossfights done right, and is a incidence where a horde would have been poor.
I do think alot of games miss the mark with boss fights though. Of course the obvious example being Deus Ex HR.
