I don't think we should look at the base action only. That's almost like saying Mirror's Edge, or real life free running, is just running. The main gameplay isn't running, but WHERE you run.
Bad repetitive games are games where you do the base action, in the same way possible. You face the same enemies, in the same fashion, mindlesssly shooting.
Whereas in a better game like Killzone 2 (although it gets repetitive in replays), you deal with enemies that dynamicly take cover, try to flank you, etc.
Baisicly it's all about non-predictability.
