Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode: II

[TGE]

The issue is that the physics make up a large part of what the game is. If it was just a single level, fine, but it's something present at every second of the game.

True, but it also depends on how much you make a problem of it. If you just play to enjoy, you will stop nitpicking about the physics. The physics are crap, but still, the game was very fun to play even though not everything felt right. That's why I said "You'll get used to it fast" because you do.
If you stop complaining about it that is.
