Not only does forcing you to shoot feel out of place in a game that generally rewards you for keeping your foes alive, but the fights also aren't that fun on their own terms. Once you figure out your enemy's pattern, you just repeat the same moves until you whittle down his or her inflated life bar. (A life bar, mind you, that you cannot see.)"
Weakest point is boss fights unfortunately.

It may be possible to exploit augs and skills that aren't generally shooter strengths and turn boss fights into fun fights. One reviewer, I've read, snuck into an air vent and played deadly hide & seek with the waves of enemies. Another used his strength aug and shoved vending machines into a chokepoint to keep enemies out.
It sounds like the boss fights are predictable, but it's up to you to turn it around and make it entertaining for yourself.
