Quite the opposite, you constantly get access to new tools (such as the gun, grappling hook) and the environments you explore all look very different if memory serves.
I admittedly didn't get very far, because it bored me, but I don't like a game that has the illusion of a bunch of different attacks, that, while they look really cool, amount to pretty much the exact same thing. There's no skill inherent in the gameplay itself in terms of how you use or combine attacks. Pretty much mashing the same button and/or attack over again works just as well as anything else, with the exception of doing a jump attack. I also don't like how the kill animations are always the same, with one or two minor exceptions. It makes it a chore, since you have to watch the animation again, so you just kill them the old fashioned way.

Meh.
