The 10 Best Video Game Endings of All-Time
April 16, 2008 by
Video gamers are a very selfish lot. When a video gamer defeats a video game they think they should be awarded with a good ending so they can feel like they accomplished something. Nevermind the fact that the video game company just provide the video gamer with hours of fun gameplay,
but they think they deserve even more than that. I completely agree with the selfish video gamers to. I want a good ending to my video game! These are the 10 best endings in video game history.
10. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (Sega Genesis)
Storyline-wise there isn't much of an ending here, Michael Jackson just flies off in his spaceship. But then you are treated to the best credits roll of all-time when Michael Jackson does his signature dance moves: the moon walk, the kick, the spin, the hat throw. The whole thing is to the tune of Bad by Michael Jackson too!
9. Ninja Gaiden (NES)
The Ninja Gaiden ending had everything you could want from an ending. There is a teary goodbye from Ryu's father, a castle that crumbles to the ground and finally the hero and his woman standing together staring off into the sun.
8. Conker's Bad Fur Day (Nintendo 64)
The ending to Conker's Bad Fur Day has to be the funniest ending of all-time. Conker is going head on with an alien. The alien dramatically leaps in the air towards Conker when suddenly he freezes in midair. Conker looks around for a minute and then realizes the game has locked up. Conker then faces the people playing at home, knocks on the screen and asks if there are any game engineers out there that can help the game resume.
7. Super Metroid (Super Nintendo)
Super Metroid's ending might be the most similar to an action movie because after you beat the boss you don't get to just stand there and enjoy an ending, you have to high tail it out of the building before the whole place explodes.
6. God of War (Playstation 2)
God of War has a great ending as Kratos goes toe to toe with the one and only Ares, God of War. Eventually Kratos is victorious and he is crowned the new God of War.
10. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (Sega Genesis)
Storyline-wise there isn't much of an ending here, Michael Jackson just flies off in his spaceship.

For a long time music was just put into the video game sot enhance the story or set the mood, but never was it the main focus. Amplitude for the Playstation 2 is an amazing game that focuses on music, and features some of today's top artists like Pink, Blink 182 and more.
