Then I'm surprised you like Syberia, since the gameplay consists of just combining mechanical things again and again in a very linear fashion.

Halo ... the gameplay is more than repetitive. I mean, this game suffers from a lack of imagination... it's just BORING.
Gameplay is by its nature repetitive. Games like WarioWare have non-repetitive gameplay but that is unusual and part of the gimmick of the game. Halo is a first person shooter, which means the player expects to walk around and shoot things. That's how it is. It does that extremely well. Later in the game, the single-player level design gets a bit repetitive, but since, as you say, the story is nothing to speak of, you don't have to bother playing those bits. Halo is all about the multiplayer.

But for those seeking a simple game, and living a dull, uncomplicated life, by all means - play Halo! Fill Microsoft's pockets!
Gladly! 8-)
