I can sorta get why they might be a bit gunshy about a final battle being "video gamey", because the human reaper at the end of ME2 was the definition of it. I also didn't really like the human reaper fight either. A reaper-transformed Illusive Man that would be similar in nature to the Saren fight in ME1 would have been good, though. Maybe even something like Harbinger+Saren would have been good.
If I remember correctly, there was some buildup between the IM and Shepard before the end of the ME3, but nothing really came of it, so they probably were going to use that to lead into a battle but scrapped it?

You got a confrontation with an indoctrinated IM, if you made specific choices in your conversations with him during the game, you could convince him to kill himself (like Saren) and "saving" Anderson, if you didn't make those choices, IM shoots Anderson. The ME3 Art book has concept art for a reaperized IM (like the husks, banshees etc) so I think that's where they were going to go, but scrapped it for the sake of "art" =P I'm still not bitter or anything lol)
