I don't usually like it when they do that.  That's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of boss battles in general.  

A good example is the first boss battle in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.  I'm playing the game with my character centered around stealth, which appears to be a primary option.  Pretty much every situation, you can get through silently.  Then, boom, by the way, forget all that because you have to beat this boss character in a straight fire-fight.  Your character isn't built or equiped for that?  Too bad.  I was really, really pissed off about that.

On the other hand, you have Blood Dragon, which probably had the most beautiful and elegant ending for a video-game ever.

That right there is why I never finished that game.  I turned the game off after realizing I was woefully under-equipped and not ready for that kind of fight, despite the game insisting throughout that I could play to the style I wanted and be fine, and never went back to it.
