It's not that the woman you're playing is physically limited (though yeah you're right, she is :P), it's that she's impossible to control. I couldn't even get her to run in a straight line, she was like Lindsay Lohan after a DUI. The camera just swerves of its own accord and the controls don't adjust to it so you're left turning in a circle trying to face the right way while hellhounds are chomping at your legs :P
