I mainly dug it for the design and actually liked that it could be completed in such a short time (I often lose interest before ever completing a game) but agree that Shadow of the Colossus is much better, although I haven't completed SoC yet.

I think the hype is probably because of just how little creativity goes into most big-time videos games, so when something different comes out everyone pisses their pants and tries to use it as a excuse with their mom for how many hours they've wasted blowing shit up in the past.
