You suck at God of War!
Seriously though, I would say content. By this I mean map design, objectives, atmosphere, missions, characters, etc. Some of the best games created have pretty basic controls with excellent game elements in them.
Like Left 4 Dead for example. It's a pretty basic game. You shoot the monsters. But the way the maps are designed and the objectives in the game make it more enjoyable than most games out there.
Or SOCOM (not the PS3 ones). It has pretty basic controls. You aim, you shoot. simple. The thing that makes it great is the design of the maps, the movement speed of the characters, etc.
So yeah, content is king.
