So you're saying SMG would have been more fun if it was easier to make sharper turns while swimming.
In your opinion, how much maneuverability under water would you say is just enough?

I'm actually trying to think of an example of a game that should be emulated.

As said above, R&C. There's the Hydropack that makes you swim fast and easily. Otherwise you can just swim with "regular" physics.

Banjo Kazooie and Mega Man V both have really enjoyable underwater sections, although I don't think you could describe either as accurate.

Mario 64 nailed it.

Rayman, because you can swim fast. And because they often mixed swimming with running and jumping.

The two recent Rayman games and the two recent Donkey Kong games (unless I'm remembering it wrong and DK Returns had no swimming ...) were great.
