Yes, Shadow of the Colossus is among the PS2's greatest late-comers. If anyone liked that game, then check out ICO as well. It's gameplay is entirely different, but it's made by the same developers and it seems to be the sequel to SotC (even though it was released beforehand).
The first time you play through MGS3, it is a bit intimidating. The completely new camo, food, first-aid and CQC functions, the patrol guards have an infinite view range (I think that was the most difficult thing to deal with in the original game before they added the panoramic camera), if you move within five feet of anyone they will automatically sense your presence even if you're crawling at them from behind.
But, there's also some weaknesses built into the guards: only a limited number of them carry radios, most guards have a hole in their patrol routes so if you know it then it's easy to get by, your CQC will completely dominate them at close range, and wearing The Sorrow's camo uniform makes you 100% silent even when you run. There's really no avoiding the annoyance of switching camo gear every 30 seconds, though.

I was doing something wrong, I just don't know what. Matt did way better than me and so then I was like, well fuck this.
