What is the essence of Butt Ugly Martians? What would make a good video game based on it? (genre, types of gameplay, etc)

I guess that question must be for the Brits, 'cause I can't even begin to guess what the hell it's about... *L*

I'm a Brit! And I have to be honest here and say: Tora Ziyal, what are you on about? Is this meant to have meaning to us Brits? It doesn't to this sole Brit, although some memory jogging might be in order! So if you'd care to explain the reasoning behind the question, I'd be more than happy to attempt to answer it.

I think she's talking about the kids TV show Butt Ugly Martians.

Now, even though I do watch a little "non-adult" TV, as it were (Son Goku vs Darth Vadar!), I have to admit that I have never seen an episode of Butt Ugly Martians. It's on CITV, at a normal time, after Pokemon, but I just haven't seen it. Actually, I thought it was a US show. The use of "butt-ugly" screams yank.

But, what I've gathered, it's CGI-ed, and it's about 3 martians who have been sent to Earth to destroy it, but they hit their heads when they are babies, and become nice, and don't know they are aliens, until their brothers who are named after Radishes come to Earth and kill them. But they get better, and go to another planet and fight a strangle lizard alien thing who might talk like a woman and who wears black lipstick and the thing just goes on and on and on and JUST FUCKING KILL HIM!

Er, or it's about 3 aliens who come to Earth to destroy it, but don't. They become friends with humans. Wacky hi-jinks ensue.

For a computer game, if this was 1991, I'd suggest a bad scrolling platform game. As this is 2001, I'd suggest a bad first-person shooter.

Noticed a comic of it in the shops yesterday - that's the only exposure I've had to Butt Ugly Martians...

...that I'm telling you about...
