I just had a revelation (I doubt I'm the first) that will hopefully make the underwater lovers calmer... I don't think the underwater element would work on anything other than wii honestly. The mechanics for those areas are set up on a 3d scale, taking all three axis (x,y,and z) into account. Frankly, the psp just doesn't have the ability to take in that third axis and use it. All normal maps are set up so that you are always on a (relatively) flat plane, if you tried making that into a cube or something and went swimming in it, you would really only be able to swim in a line horizontal to the bottom.

PS: sorry if this sounded like a boring lecture from school or something like that lol, I'm a Junior in high school and these kind of thins just kind of stick in my head.
