I hate water more because at least with ice I feel I have some control, but with water your control over the character goes to hell. Every direction around you is a danger zone, so if something is sneaking up behind you, you have no idea.
Not to mention that it always adds the air mechanic... I hate having a timer put on my missions like that. So frustrating.
I remember hating Sonic the Hedgehog 2's water level. I remember it was the second level and you would literally be forced halfway through the level to run through this big underwater section and the platforming was pretty tedious. One mistake and you could very well drown.
Then there's the water levels where you can't even go in the water or you die, Sonic the Hedgehog has water like that as well. Grand Theft Auto 3 did as well...
Not to mention that it completely screws around with your control scheme when you are swimming through water. When you are on the surface in water you can just move in the direction you want, but then you need a seperate button to dive underwater, and another button to swim which you often have to push repeatedly. Sometimes theres the odd game where you have multiple buttons for swimming at different speeds. (I'm looking at you Banjo Tooie with 3 different button mechanisms to swim.)
