There are some video game makers who think it's okay to make the characters climb at a snail's pace with every ladder.


Sure this may not seem like a big deal, but whether it's poll climbing or wall climbing, it can get really tedious when the player wants to explore an area but the game character just doesn't move as swiftly as the gamer wants.


There are many games featuring wall climbing, like The Legend of Zelda, Prince of Persia, Rogue Galaxy, etc etc. I would say that Prince of Persia the Sands of Time is an obvious contender for having a character that moves swiftly up ladders. More games need to mimic that design.

Ezio and Altair from the Assassin's Creed series can get up those ladders pretty fast if you choose to have them do so.

You can prop the controller down, get up, go make a sandwhich, come back and he'll STILL be climbing that ladder lol.

Snake scales that one mile ladder pretty quickly, so I'm guessing him. Far Cry 2 probably has the slowest.

Assassians Creed ladder climbing can be very fast. But fastest "climbing" i'm not sure if this counts is in Prototype. Just hold run and bump into a scraper, blink, and your on top.

Most of the older FPS games (think pre-2000) have you climb ladders at the same speed you move on the ground, mainly because they didn't have the technology to have any sort of unique animation for it

That didn't seem to be that long... Not like the MGS one that was posted.
