13 Terrible Levels In Otherwise Awesome Video Games

10. Riding The Jet-Ski - Uncharted: Among Thieves

Though it was thoroughly outdone by every sequel that followed, the first Uncharted was nevertheless a terrifically entertaining action adventure romp for the most part, albeit one that hasn't aged all that well.

This is evidenced no better than by the two jet-ski set-pieces, which are by far the clunkiest sequences in the franchise to date.

Juggling controlling the jet-ski and shooting feels woefully unintuitive, and having to deal with explosives, human assailants and the water current at the same time can be a real pain in the a**.

Thankfully both of these sections are relatively brief, but they're an absolute groaner any time you go back to playing the game.
