Alas, genius Australian naturalist Steve Irwin left this mortal coil too young. Had he not, however, SPOnG's pretty sure he'd have ventured into the wilds of LittleBigPlanet to investigate the activities of Sackboys and Sackgirls in their natural habitat.

But he didn't. It's no good dwelling in the past, is it? (Bindy will surely take over.) So, we'll have to make do with this new video put together with some other Aussie (or Aussie wannabe, we're not totally convinced by his accent) stepping up and chronicling the trials of being a Sackboy.

We're all really looking forward to LBP... just like we are Fable 2 and we were SPORE (and while we remember, Rise of the Robots was also supposed to be ace-minty-cool as well - not that we're a little jaded by SPORE... review up later today).

You can find out more about LittleBigPlanet on SPOnG's dedicated game page. Now tuck in!
