Earlier this month, we asked you all how important of an element Chao are in Sonic Unleashed. Out of all the questions I see in the comments… heck, even my inbox… Chao always seem to come out on top. What did all the campers have to say about them though?
Based on over 700 votes, 44% of the campers decided that while Chao are fun, they can certainly live without ‘em. That’s nearly 50% of the Camp Sonic viewers who suggest that they really aren’t necessary to make Sonic Unleashed a killer game.
Quickly following the dominant vote was Chao are “Very Important” at 29%, followed by “Won’t consider buying the game without them” at a surprising 16%. Will that many of you honestly not consider Sonic Unleashed without Chao? There is after all another game to get your Chao fix from this year (Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS).
On a final note, before my Inbox fills up with the obligatory “Will there be Chao in Sonic Unleashed????” emails, I want to take a moment to reiterate that we will not have that answer until SEGA is ready to answer that question.

i have a level 99 in everything shadow chao in SA2B!

@Dudecakes: @Dudecakes: @Dudecakes: put the video link i dont know what your talking about
that last comment was @ Dudecakes
Those key stones are how the werehog gets further in the level. Watch the Gamestop demonstration video.
I have high hopes, I’ll buy it regardless but after watching the Were-hog clip I wondered whether him picking up and placing that stone thing had any resemblence to the Chao Garden…I think I’m right!
Just watch it, you’ll see what I mean.
i cant wait until it comes out!
@Michal Shipman: (sarcastically) YEA OK! haha
I dont quite follow, what do you mean?
Touche anyway
It shouldn’t be a scape goat for cluttering a thread.
@Michal Shipman: thats a bit rough mate, KC hasnt done anything wrong. He’s a sonic fan and thats all he needs, if you go back aways you will find a list of characters and their personalities.
KC, your a charmy bee:) you live on caps lock and your hearts glued to your tongue.
You get used to him/her mikey.
You know, I’d like to actually read the posts that mean something, but unfortunately there is way to much KC CROSS spam. Seriously dude, cool it and get on topic. It’s like you make every posting unbearable to read.
Although I’m a fan of chao, I don’t think they should be included, the space taken up in the game to take care of chao could be used to make the game better. After the late Sonic games, I really think Sonic could do with a good game, I’m not saying the recent ones were terible though.
@Darkspines: i replied to myself. hear me roar!
i love the tails chao. but the guy that works at my local gamestop says phantasy star I&II for gamecube doesn’t exist. he is a fool.
david, do you like waffles? do you sleep? is the moon made of cheese? where are we?
In response to “The thing is that; how could they mess up the chao garden? they already got it perfect on their first tries.”…
Didn’t they also get Sonic perfect the first few times? But they’ve screwed it up quite a few times, too.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a Chao Garden. However they COULD screw it up. That would be sad, but better than none at all.
We need to make some kind of Sonic Fan Song or Chant!
@KC Cross: Yeah, Reviewers will be saying:
“Oh, even though the gameplay and cut-scenes were awesome and the chao garden and minigames rocked. Sega promised us that they would go back to what the old games were like, but since they had 3d and were-sonic we’re gonna rate it low because we can! Rawarharharhar!”
…
Yeah…
SONIC FTW!!!!!
they are cool but still
@RockerDuDe: So you’re saying if Sonic Unleashed doesn’t have a Chao Garden, then the game SUKKS AUTOMATICALLY?
That’s a true Sonic fan for ya’.
