Poll Results: Who Shouldn’t be in Sonic Unleashed
Remember that poll we held back in May? The one where we let the viewers declare who they DIDN’T want to see in Sonic Unleashed?
Well, nearly 1,500 votes later, we’ve decided to post results from said poll. I honestly never imagined there to be such a high turn out… such a display of hatred for some characters… but alas, I digress.
Cream pulls out on top (or bottom depending on how you look at it) with a whopping 949 votes. That’s over 64% of you who thought Cream would be the worst thing that could happen to Sonic Unleashed.
Shortly following her, we see Silver, Rogue, and Blaze each receiving over 40% (remember, multiple votes were allowed). Shadow and Amy both pulled in over 20% of the vote, with Tails and Knuckles coming close at 7 and 5% respectively.
On a side note, don’t forget to cast your vote in our Sonic Unleashed Chao Poll.

1ST COMMENT YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Sup, Admin?
THX 4 DA PIN!
Ooh, sry Cream. :(
Anywayz, I was wondering if anyone knew about an SU character named
ALEXA WOODS
She’s in this blog here
http://blogs.ign.com/TomG1992/2008/04/04/85897/
They say she’s gunna be in Sonic Unleashed.
Anywayz, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but if anyone knows about dat then LET IT OUT! lol
A mercenary hey? Well she would be an interesting addition…
But then again, reliability factor = 0…. so =(
i did not vote because everyone has their own habilities
i think that rouge should appear in sonic unleashed
yessss!!!at last there is just 4 days left for july15-17
I think I voted for Cream and Amy because Cream is too sweet to be in there and Amy’s controls in Sonic Advance are crappy.
Pity Silver and Blaze got so many votes against them, though, since I wanted to know more about Silver’s background and Blaze is unique enough in her abilities to justify an appearance.
And of course Shadow ought to make at least a NPC-appearance.
I’ll die if cream is in the game. I hate her, ugly little rabbit. SEGA why not make a new design on her?
why did blaze come out so high, and shadow. I really liked blaze in rush not so much in 06. And shadow is pretty cool but the whole ‘who am I’ thing is getting pretty old.
I voted for silver. He was so corny and boring to play. Never want to see him again in a sonic game.
cream is a cool Character
@TailstheHedgehog: Yea yur right about Silver
Plus his voice = i can’t STAND IT! lol
Although it is kinda cool how he can catch bullets but
That’s the ONLY WAY HE CAN HIT
THATS SO STUPID
Sonic: Unleashed – Silver + Shadow = GOOD GAME lol
(75% Probably going to be a Silver Mini-Game Anyway.)
@KC Cross: just read it from your link. I’m not so sure if its a good thing but I haven’t heard about her before. If someone does plz do wat KC said and give a shout.
Pretty please…haha
oh i meant alexa woods, lol
@KC Cross: i reckon it is false as it looks like old info but with added additions.
@ TailstheHedgehog: your right Silver is annoying but the “who am i” thing shadow did has been gone since shadow the hedgehog. besides that silver is pretty annoying and never needs to come back. unless he has a good reason…
…What? No Big? lol.
But yeah, I’m kinda surprised at how many votes there are against Cream. I figured that more would go out on Silver!
@Nano:
E3 starts in the 14th, so that’s only three more days of waitng!
Right on the official website too if you don’t believe me.
@Aregulardude: Well I think that Silver is a horrible character, but he’s still cooler than Cream. There’s really no point in having her in ANY future games. Although she’s a cool character, I believe that SEGA would want to go all out and concentrate on the cool characters 1st.
Maybe they’ll BOTH be in the game? lol
(Can I get a shout out for a CREAM & CHEESE Mini-Game for the kiddies? Laotp!)
oh whoops. Never actually bought shadow the hedgehog. I was a bit awed by the thought of guns in a sonic (well technically it wasn’t) game.
But i think i figured out what happened through sonic x.
Lov that series, still watch it.
I dought shadow will be in unleashed but I do remember seeig an image, im sorry i hav no link but i swear this is the truth, of shadow and under him the title unleashed.
@TailstheHedgehog: Yur talking about this
http://www.campsonic.com/2008/05/09/sonic-unleashed-in-2001
i’s been confirmed fake
Also SEGA just put a patent on the name so it hasn’t been in development since 2001
but if i know SEGA, they’ll have a CRAZY FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN WERE-SONIC & SHADOW!
I think Were-Sonic would win cuz he’s going to be a stronger (but slower) Sonic and Sonic/Shadow are even.
Who will win? Anyone care 2 comment?
P.S. I found that pic on CAMPSONIC.COM! lol :P
SRY EVERYONE i didnt mean to say “FAKE”
I meant UNRELATED TO OUR SONIC UNLEASHED IN 08
sry :(
sry i meant to put “it’s”
Laotp :( :( :(
@KC Cross: omg i dont beleive. I saw that same pic on camp sonic the whole time! thats annoying.
But its not the same unleashed hey, i c.
A shadow/werehog battle would b awesome.
Hope werehog would win. If sonic and shadow are even then if the wolf wins it would show just how powerful, dangerous and out of control the wolf can be. If the wolf hurt shadow badly, which we all know our fav blue little mate would never do, then that would mean that sonic has no control at al over the wolf. That would be scary but awesome as we rarely see shadow lose a fight.
sorry if there was a loss for shadow in shadow he hedgehog, like I said earlier, never played it.
@TailstheHedgehog: LOL THAT WOULD BE A GREAT STORYLINE
Then Were-Sonic is going CRAZY and the GANG SEE SONIC
Tails: SONIC! What happened to you!?!?
Knuckles: I’ll handle this! Hi-YA!!!
Were-Sonic: Falcon…PUNCH!!!! :P
Knuckles flies off screen (Laotp)
Amy: SONIC, PLEASE STOP!!!!!!!
(Were-Sonic looks at Amy): A….my…?
They hold hands and DAT’S da END! :3
@KC Cross: hey guys you dont have to worry about silver making a cameo appearance he has already been confirmed not to be in the game in :http://www.campsonic.com/wp-content/gallery/play-magazine-sonic-unleashed-scans/play05.jpg
oh and for u fans who asked me here’s another PS2 UK scan:
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/4850/sonicops20047kl1.jpg
here’s a summery of all 8 pages
Their just analysing the trailer.
Part 1 on page 3 says -
Golden Ladder
Sonic charges up the stairs, collecting a string of rings. Note that you could have taken the low road too…
The Daily Grind
…except that if you had, you wouldn’t have experienced the thrill of high-speed rail grinding.
Eco Disaster
At the end of the rail, Sonic runs into some plantpots. Never fear, he speed-boosts and ploughs through them.
Can Opener
It’s a ream(Shadzter:ream?) of shiny robots next, but our hedgehog pal simply accelerates through them too.
Round the Twist
As our speed freak starts a loop, the camera swoops around to show the action in glorious 2D-o-Vision.
Part 2 on page 5 says -
Going Loopy
Sonic comes up against an impressive loop, so thank goodness theres a speed pad here to help him out.
Saving Pace
He completes the loop perfectly. Back on the ground, and our hedgehog has slowed down a bit…
Blue Streak
…so he activates a speed boost, which blurs the screen, then suddenly he’s off in a cloud of blue fury.
Prickly Welcome
Sonic reaches a set of spikes ready to relieve him of his rings. But the nimble ‘hog bounces past them all.
Stratosfear
As if this wasn’t perilous enough. Sonic then hits a string of floating platforms. Sharp reactions required.
woops lemme write that again where they confirm that Silver wont be in the game: :http://www.campsonic.com/wp-content/gallery/play-magazine-sonic-unleashed-scans/play05.jpg
ugh….. =< just copy and paste into the info bar…
@Kev: LAOTP
Anywayz, OK EVERYONE IT’S 100% CONFIRMED (THX KEV)
SILVER will NOT BE IN SONIC UNLEASHED!
@Admin: U should make that a new blog entry
“Silver NOT In Sonic Unleashed! Give us your Opinion” lol
Just throwin it out there
I don’t get why so many people hate silver. He is actually the most unbeatable character there is. nether Sonic nor Shadow can beat him. I want someone to try and name a way to beat him.
@KC Cross: WTF FALCON PUNCH!!!!!
@Spittingup: You know what YUR RIGHT
I forgot Silver can control PEOPLE like SONIC!
Silver coulda KILLED EM’!
Man, I must be CRAZY I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THAT
Silver is awesome.
Gameplay wise…..not-a-so good. (Maybe if he wuz fast…)
& besides……..Were-Sonic could MURDER SILVER WITH ONE HIT!
Silver: What? Sonic Transformed? Is this the power of Iblis?
Were-Sonic: Falcon…PUNCH!!!!!!! :P
Silver is too obsessive with justice he cant keep up with super sonic speed u could tell the real reason he hated sonic because of Elise!! think of it he saw sonic holding elise and he says i’ll kill u iblis trigger (cover up) for wanting elise he was jealous all along at least we dont have too see him in Sonic Unleashed
@Kev: Dat’s messed up lol
& yea i think maybe Super Sonic/Shadow could fight SIlver
But if Super Sonic/Shadow runs outta rings their S.O.L. HAHA
i didnt like how silver could stop sonic like he did. It made sonics speed practically useless. infact it makes everything you throw at him practically useless. I’m sorr but i just dont like him.
Abilities Rock
Character Not
And it was just weird playing a character that couldnt run faster than a k an hour. Just to slow.
i voted for silver and blaze because blaze is ok but not silver because he almost killed sonic
@TailstheHedgehog: Dang YUR RIGHT TOO
I mean Shadow has guns or whatever (SMH)
But what does Sonic have? NOTHIN!
I guess an actual fight between the two would be too complicated
I mean it took me 4EVER to figure out how to fight Silver as Sonic
When Silver grabs a box, then you hit him.
Where do they come up with this stuff?????
Geez i’m losing faith in my fav blue mammal
Hopefully E3 will revitalize my love for super-fast hedgehogs
(and SIlver. lol)
And also Tails sry but ima have 2 disagree
It’s not the abilities, it’s how you use em’ that makes the character
(or something……….)
@KC Cross: We had a post a long time ago confirming Silver wouldn’t be in the game.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
I KNEW DAT!!!!!!!! lol
@David Leggett: Oh, well you wouldn’t happen to know anything about that Alexa Woods thing, would u?
I voted for Shadow and Silver. Silver was so intent on destroying Iblis that he ended up almost killing the good guys and the Shadow the Hedgehog game is where I started hating shadow I mean really guns? GUNS! A good Sonic game that does not make.
I remember I voted Shadow, Silver, and Blaze.
I don’t like those characters.
@Spittingup:
actually,shadow defeated him almost until they opened the portal,and they became allies,and sonic was’t really focused on the fight because of elise both times.
@dragonite:
Remember after fight with Mephilis where Meph blasted Shadow into that pillar and he was like “ZOMG” and looked like he was going to pass out? Well Silver could have done the same thing. The reason he didn’t was because Shadow used Chaos Control! Silver didn’t even know he could use it himself so that was kind of cheap.
And the thing about Elise was Sonic was dumb enough to fight him with Elise and he was really stupid to fight the second time because he lost the first time.
So pretty much, Silver would win a rematch with ether of them, and shadow would probably win a fight against Sonic. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of Sonic, but in that game, he was the worst.
Also Omega had to save shadow during the fight with Meph.
i voted for cream,amy,and that bat girl p.s i forgot her name.
Why so much Cream hate?
She’s cute and polite =) why hate her?
Actually it would be cool if Cream would be somehow related to the Chao Garden.. a guide or something, after all she’s the first character in the series to have a Chao – those things are adorable AND she would have a purpose to be in the games again.
:3
@sonicboy2: Rouge, is her name, and ya, thats who i voted for. Except Amy.
@sonicboy2: Rouge, is her name, and ya, thats who i voted for. Except Amy. And everytime i try to comment, it’s saying that it’s duplicated and i’ve already said that. Hmm.
what’s wrong with you people!!?? Shadow is durn awesome!! he shoots people!! how cool is that? In Sonic X, Sonic never won a fight against Shadow. And as 4 Silver, he probably couldn’t even beat Sonic. If you notice in the game, he always caught Sonic off guard. And don’t you think he has some sort of psychic limit. I mean you see him flipping over buses(Shadow does) or anything like that. Which means he probably can’t control Sonic for over 30 seconds.
I know this has nothing to do with what I’m talking about but I was disappointed with Mario & Sonic at the Olympics ’cause they put Blaze in there instead of Rouge. I like Blaze and all but Rouge has been in a ton more games.
TBH, Blaze is my favourite recent sonic character, and I would like to see her cameo in SU.
Blaze ftw! =D
I think I voted for….
Rouge, Blaze, Silver, and Cream.
No offense to the fans out there. I don’t hate them in any particular pattern, etc.
Cream; could of made a good cameo, but not fully IN the game. It doesn’t suit her.
Silver on the other hand, No. his appearance would be a little dry on Sonic Unleashed, and needs a better suitable game for his type of style. But since he is already confirm not to appear, it makes sense.
Rouge. Better off when Shadow is around, or some sort of plot that would go with her, too. But really, I have no idea where she’ll fit into the category of this game being she isn’t evolved so much.
But really…I think I only voted for three, or maybe four. Blaze, I think I voted her out because it would also not make sense for her being in the script.
On my last note; Shadow would make an splendid cameo in the game, but not fully.
Still…Sonic Team is always going to find a way to make little parodies of any character, so be on the look out when the game makes it’s debut.
I voted for Cream…the situations in Sonic Unleashed are too dangerous for a little girl to be in. D:
@Pirpuu: They hate her because, due to her pacifistic behaviors, she’s considered to be “useless”. Hey, she can do in a pinch, and if she throws Cheese at you, you’re screwed! (MIGHTY the Armadillo is a pacifist, yet everybody loves him~<3 )
@ShadoHejjihoggu: Yeah, I don’t particularly hate any of the characters that were chosen either. If there is a reason for any of them to not be in the game, I should hope that people choose it for a good reason, like that they wouldn’t in the game storyline-wise, not just “OMG SILVAA SUX AND I HOPP HE FALLS OVER A CLIFF AND DIIES! D:” …Yeah, Silver is a great character, he just keeps getting put into bad games. D: Great points you brought up.
@doc a doc: Shadow’s game did not make a good Sonic game because it was Shadow’s game, genius. :P Besides, hating a character simply because of a gameplay gimmick that only appeared in one game and probably won’t be used…anywhere else isn’t exactly a wise choice. I mean, nobody complains when Eggman points a blaster at Amy’s head in Sonic Adventure 2 and nobody complains about Fang the Sniper, but when good ol’ emo boy punching bag Shadow the Hedgehog comes along, “omg gunz!”
Would anybody mind explaining to me why people continue to insist to complain about the aspects of Shadow’s character in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and his own game as if they still apply to him, despite the fact that he made a commitment to get over his past at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog, and that his attitude in games like Sonic ‘06, Sonic Rivals 2, and Sonic Battle remain consistent with that commitment?
…A mercenary girl, eh? I doubt that Alexa Woods is even real, but if she is, ten bucks says Eggman hired her to bust a cap into Weresonic. XD
@David Leggett: Hey, just got my Camp Sonic pins today. Great job on them, they look just like advertised…and the note was nice too. <33 Thank you! :D
I think I voted for Cream and Silver. I just think that they wouldn’t fit well in Unleashed, although I would rather see Cream than Silver. Mainly because it would make more sense for her to be there since she is from that time unlike Silver.
@Spittingup:
mephiles isn’t silver.
and he was kind of invincible and used chaos emeralds to power up himself in all fights.
I actually like silver because of his personality,he is kinda like me.
And his theme rocks,to bad the orginal silver got retconned..
But sonic and shadow had trouble with him because of circumstances and they did’t know how to handle silver well,and that is a major factor.
Shadow used chaos control in a manner of ”now I end this fight” because that whole fight was a major misunderstanding anyway.
I think silver is a bit even with the other two hedgehogs,only he counters sonic a bit by nature because of their powers.
Shadow is currently the strongest,because of wrist-ring-removal-overdrive.Silver would get run over totally.
hmm.. sonic might be able to avoid it until shadow tires out and becomes incredible weak.
They sort of form a counter triangle if you focus on their strongest powers.
