I've been playing level 5 and whenever I get on the raft, the raft always gets stuck near the rope bridge suspended far above the water. This the the raft got stuck under the water.

Is this a pretty common thing to happen? I'm getting tired of it, an although I have been enjoying this game I may just end up uninstalling it an moving on to something else.

Also, this only happened once but the dark elf, whatever her name is, also fell through the level once.

I just got through beating this game, and had sort of the same problem. Eventually I think I accidentally broke the bridge with an attack and it let me progress, but prior to that point I was just stuck fighting endless waves of guys wondering how to progress. So, I think there's a way to chop up the "bridge" (the game treats it as an obstacle I think) to proceed. Either that or the game just makes you fight for a ridiculous length of time before it lets you move on. Rage-inducing game IMO.

Okay, it's been over a month, but I had initially decided that I had enough of this game after not getting past this part. After getting a new computer, installing the game and starting from the beginning I got through the level without any problems at all. The raft ride was totally smooth this time and I only got stuck at those rope barriers where you're supposed to get stuck, so I dunno.
