SONIC ADVENTURE DX CHAO SERIES
While Chao’s general functionality in-game has always been lacking, the Sonic Adventure series changed that, introducing the Chao Garden mode that gave players the chance to raise their own Chao’s as a break from Sonic Adventure’s over-the-top plot.ĭon’t let the term ‘minigame’ fool you, however, as the Chao Garden is quite possibly the most complex child-rearing simulator ever made.
The Chao Garden is quite possibly the most complex child-rearing simulator ever made Their cute, lovable appearance made them heavily marketable in the eyes of SEGA, being sold as toys, T-shirts, and posters almost as much as the iconic Hedgehog during Sonic’s high point. The latest in the Sonic Adventure series, Sonic Adventure 2, lives on in gaming history for its iconic ‘City Escape’ level, baffling storyline, and some very meme-able lines, my favourite of which has to be “I found you, faker!”ĭespite its impressive gameplay and level design – especially for a 3D Sonic title – it is actually the Chao Garden mini-game mode that justifies Sonic Adventure 2’s appearance in my list of all-time favourite games.įor those of you unfamiliar with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, Chao’s are a small, mysterious band of creatures, previously guardians of the Master Emerald.
As SEGA celebrates its 60th anniversary with a bunch of free games, new lines of merchandise and the revival of classic game series’, fans of Sonic the Hedgehog are clamouring for a third instalment of the Sonic Adventure games.
