One of the coolest draws to controlling the little endearing Sackboy is that in addition to the typical run, jump, and grab platforming fare, Sackboy's body, arms, head, mouth, and expressions are posable. Granted this may be a bit of a novelty, but being able to slap someone off a cliff or moving vehicle will often result with hilarity. The arms are easily mapped to the analog sticks with a press of the shoulder buttons and the head and body can be manipulated using the sixaxis motion control. What most people don't know is that Sackboy's mouth will actually mimic whatever sound is heard through a player's headset.
The creator of this video took that idea, played some music into the headset, and added a little choreography. The rapping segments in particular really impress. The ending is awesome as well but I won't ruin that for you.
This would probably sync better if he used accapella (sp?) tracks and dubbed the music over top when making the video. The eminem bit looked really good though, and that bit at the end made watching through the whole thing completely worth it.
I'm sure we'll see lots of really funny, clever things coming out from this game.
@ Sheep: I thought that too but acapella tracks are probably hard to come by. IMO, the only thing that would made this beyond amazing would be if he made a car for the last part.
I think they said the game's voice chat will sync with your sacks mouth movements. This wasn't in the beta so heopfully it'll be there with the retail version.

Yes, it's beyond gay. Sackboy looks like a total dick when he's pissed off, yelling at Sackgirl.
I love this game :).
I think the best was the Eminem part - HE'S SO ANGRY
I was really hoping he laid his pimp hand down in that section :).

Great find.
This makes me smile.
That ending was hilarious.
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I'm finally glad I own a PS3!
