No word on what it may be used for, but Sonic Unleashed is now confirmed to have an online component to it. What could it be?
Our guesses:
- Online leaderboards for Timed portions of the game, or Minigame scores?
- Versus mode? Doubtful after it was confirmed to be one player.
- Downloadable content?
What do you think?

@bobbo21: Not to rain on any parades, but why not simply let Sega know yourself? They haven’t said “No” to it, so I don’t see how a petition will help… and to be honest, I don’t see how a petition would make Sega HAVE to include them anyways.
if u want chao in unleashed sign the petition google chao garden petition and it will be sent 2 sega with hundreds of signatures so sega will have 2 put chao in
this may be way off and will probs be my wishful thinkin, but maybe the online content is something chao-world related, tht’d be cool, HD chao, how cute!
my friend wants them in a lot who wants chao in sonic unleashed it would make the game last longer but the werehog would have a bad influence on chao
sonic unleashed looks awesome i think the online is for an online ability with chao
When Gamespot asked about multiplayer in the stage demo, the SEGA employee responded by mentioning the online component.
So i guess it’ll be multiplayer.
Also, remember that there are minigames, so maybe these are multiplayer.
Campsonic, PLEASE ask about chao Garden tommorow. I MUST know!!
Probaly just a scoreboard like mario and sonic and sonic riders zg…
you guys make slugs look fast how come my questions arent answered??????

@Kori-Maru: If any I would want an Angel Island zone from sonic 3(and knuckles) that stage was awesome!
Please god, please grace this game with chao, and online chao karate and racing!
I watched the Live video on Gamespot this morning and I’m hoping that he listen to the question about Remixed stages from previous Sonic games. Please do that and and make a Sega theme stages like ones from Sonic Riders and Zero Gravity SEGA for unlockable or as download content.
They could have an online chao garden where people can look at your chao and have chao races.
a seasonal chao garden would be awesome!
Wii could have Mii’s in chao garden, and Xbox could even have their avatars. Playstation gets nothing. Bwahahahaha!
i have to see the coverage
The quality is so low…. I may watch it anyway.
Great!! Online!!! =)
if you missed the demo LIVE (like me) now gamespot have upload a video of the entire demo that was LIVE hours ago, check it out!!:

I think it will be events, like someone said before. And some kind of rankings.
But what would be great, online chao garden ^^
@PrincessTikal: I would love for them to actually put that much effort into a game, but I doubt it would be considered practical on their end. -sigh-
