I hope they make a return to this installment, and if so, I want to see some unique abilities and purposes given to each one. It'd be nice if the creators could incorporate them into the main storyline. Your thoughts & opinions?

At this point, I get the feeling that this game is only going to be about Sonic, in an attempt to give it a really close feel to the old sonic games from Genesis. I'd be surprised to see even Tails and Knuckles have more than a few minutes of appearance, let alone something like chao.

But if there will be chao in this game, Id love more ways to show affection to your chao. Petting and hugging is fine, but there should really be more than two actions. I'm thinking tickling, throwing them up in the air and catching, maybe even piggy-back rides? Depending on your chao's personality, they should respond better to certain things. Some chao might even prefer being poked or pinched instead of cuddled.


It also looks like chao are playing a significant role in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. You can equip them to a character to enhance certain stats or abilities, so raising them is actually an integral part of that game. As of now, however, we have yet to see what changes there are to that system.

how the frickin hell is sonic gonna give that thing a piggy back ride
