Over the entirety of my gaming career, water levels have generally ruined my overall experience. By either being excessively difficult or just a complete waste of time to extend the length of a game. So I'll go over some that were good and some that were bad.
but I especially hate levels where your in the sky. Jumping through the air on floating platforms is not cool at all.
Megaman X 1 had a sweet water level though. 2d Sonic water levels were the WORST.
*RAGE*
there is nothing more aggravating then hearing that music that plays as you start to lose air.
Donkey Kong Country (All)
Kingdom Hearts (All)
Bioshock 2
Resistance 2 (On top of water)
Gears of War 2 (On top of water)
I honestly like the water level in Devil May Cry. It felt unique and actually a bit alarming because of what were swimming with you.
But more than water levels I hate the snow/ice levels.
I actually liked that level tho. But the TECHNODROME level can burn in the sixth circle of hell! LOL
