Mako missions were a nice way of leveling up and they weren't always the same (and certainly lasted longer than five seconds), which is more than I can say for the replacement options. The amount of time I spent doing Mako missions was significantly higher than 2/3's options, and it was significantly more fun.
They had a vehicle in ME2. The Hammerhead.
The Mako sections were filler.
