Line 290:
* ''[[Prince of Persia]]'' 2008 has the ''Ledge of Instant Death''. Despite the Prince being an excellent acrobat, he can't jump down more than 2 meters. At some points, Elika catches the Prince even though his feet already touched the ground.
** Same with ''Sands of Time''.
* ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'' has plenty of these. Firstly [[Super Drowning Skills|the main character can't swim]], or indeed walk in it if it's above waist height. Then our main character has a pitiful jump which can often lead to your painly attempting to get over an something if John doesn't automatically climb over it. This becomes very clear when the game bars you from areas of the map by placing them behind a river but it still has bridges across, the only thing keeping John out are a couple of small wooden barriers with plenty of room to the side so you could just walk around them. Then the game is littered with slopes that just a bit too steep to climb up which circles the [[SandSandbox BoxMode]] world.
* [[Time Splitters]] has a few instances of this. In one level of the third game, your path is blocked by a few strips of police tape and a hole in some boards. A little strange in that your partner Jo-Beth has no problems climbing under the tape. ''Very'' strange after she falls through the floor on the other side and instead of climbing under to check on her, you go a much longer path.
* ''[[Odium]]'' has plenty of these, making its turn-based battles somewhat ridiculous. Small piles of junk block movement and bullets alike. You cannot even shoot across gaps.
