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.



Is this "gay" enough for you, Mr. Sadistic?

Yes, it's beyond gay. Sackboy looks like a total dick when he's pissed off, yelling at Sackgirl.

Sackboy needs to let his bitches know where they stand.

I love this game :).
Butmac's Destructoid Blog
Hahahaha that ending is genius - I'm sad I didn't think of it first

I think the best was the Eminem part - HE'S SO ANGRY

I want to throw some Groucho glasses on my Sackboy and re-enact the Humpty Dance video. Or put a clock sticker on his chest and do Fight the Power.

@butmac

I was really hoping he laid his pimp hand down in that section :).

Eh, most of it kind of dragged on for too long, but the ending was brilliant. xD
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
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.

Holy shit, this is awesome
ZekeThePlumber's Destructoid Blog
@ 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.

Is Sackboy gonna have to choke a bitch?


Great find.
Kinji's Destructoid Blog
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.

Teta's Destructoid Blog
That video just sold me a game.
casualweaponry's Destructoid Blog
That scowling Eminem was the best part. It really looked like that Sackboy was rapping.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I'm finally glad I own a PS3!
