It's not the complete package, though. Not in the area that Devil May Cry exceeds it. That's why Devil May Cry is the superior offering for those looking to explore one of the most in-depth action combat system in gaming.
So, it's a "complete package", but a different sort of package. It's an action game has a more balanced approach to its other areas, whereas Devil May Cry throws it all in service to exploiting and exploring the depth of its combat system. The enemies, which you deem as 'boring', are conduits for this exploration, and are almost always set up so that skilled players can exploit the system for the highest possible gain.
Wonderful 101 is more frenetic and insane with its gameplay variety, but looser, not quite as deep - but still very engaging - and, of course, its gorgeous clean visual style is very attractive. It also has very compelling boss fights, although to be honest the horrific touch screen shit did put a secondary damper on the experience. By default I have to dock it for that... no true pure action game would have such a shit crutch that doesn't even work right all of the time.
