Shinobi (2002). I hit a wall once I reached a level in which the player had to essentially wall run and dash between enemies in mid-air thoughout the course of almost the entire stage. If levels of a similar nature existed beyond that point, I never got to see them - I left the game unfinished. :P
That, and Agile Warrior: F-111X, a PSone arcade flight sim. Consider yourself to be doing well, should you survive any of the opening missions long enough to hear the BGM track's second loop start.
The first game that comes to mind is V2000 (or Virus 2000), a game released on PC and PSX in 1998 in which the player uses a vehicle capable of transforming into a hovercraft or VTOL aircraft. After clearing up a bunch of oversized insects, spiders and plants, the player ends the stage by attacking and then decending into a purple dome-like structure referred to as a 'hive'.
I just remembered Valkyria Chronicles. :P Probably one of the best JRPG's available on the platform. It quickly became one of those elusive, ultra-rare titles only a few months following its release, but it should be easy to find a copy for a good price online.
