IDEA ALERT!
What if the storyline, was about Christopher landing on the home planet, to find that the potential government was on a collapse, and the world was in chaos. But when he explains about earth, the leaders are astounded, and want to destroy earth. Then he talks of District 9, and how everyone would be killed, if it happend, and the promise he made to comeback in 3 years. So chris, and CJ (now a teen) are sent back to earth to tell of what happened, and to unite, and fight against their home planet, so that peace may find itself again.

Thinking outside the box here… there's about 20 years between when the ship landed and when the events of District 9 took place. There's a lot of material there for a really kick-ass game to be made. I think that everything here is a good idea, but things don't necessarily need to be restricted to the events of the movie. However, if the game's climax WAS the movie, that would be a great deal more amazing. That way, the player would have to work to get to the good part, instead of diving right in. Plus, bigger game, more enjoyment.

I personally think that a D9 game would be amazing ! especially the online capabilities , i think it would be great to get in a ship (like christophers one) with a few other “prawns” and go blow some MNU guys to pieces ! and the odd mech suit couldnt hurt XD

a district nine game would be great. there is a good story to it, there is a great selection of alien and human weaponry, you could have a choice between human or alien. the way the movie was, like what was said in the above article, this movie has great potential as a video game!! lets see it happen!! =]

A game made after this movie would probably suck and it would probably ruin this awesome movie. But if a game were, then it should probably contain some of these:
Personally, I think a first person RPG would be much better, something like Borderlands. Also the player should have different “skills”, these depending on what group/faction they choose. I have a few ideas that would be great for Prawn “special skills”: apart from the obvious things like powerful melee attacks and being the ONLY group/faction to be able to use alien tech (I must emphasize the word “ONLY” as it clearly says in the movie that the weapon work EXCLUSIVELY with their DNA and they can’t be use by humans), they should have some kind of “scavenger” ability, similar to the Undead racial “Cannibalize” in WoW (If you’re not familiar with this, the Undead could eat a corpse to regenerate health), because we could see in the movie that liked rubber and they could the can of the cat-food; They should also have some ability to modify (boosting firing rate or damage) or even create new weapons (in the MNU headquarters Christopher made a bomb from several weapon parts). But to not make them too powerful, they should also have some disadvantages, for example not having the ability to wear any armor, or perhaps only a weak ones (in the movie Prawns only wear scraps of clothes). But let’s not forget about the mecha-suit.
Gangs should be similar to the ones in San Andreas, and like in SA, there should also be multiple gangs. I really don’t know what “skills” they should have, perhaps stealth, or a “blend in” kind of thing. I’m not sure about the vehicles, the only thing I saw in the movie was that rusty pick-up truck.
The MNU soldiers (which I don’t think I would ever try) should be your average soldier, with heavy armor, grenades and fairly good weapons. Their special skill could be a helicopter with a sniper on board (it also appeared in the movie) or perhaps they could have snipers themselves. Tear gas could also be a nice addition. They should also have those cool military vehicles.

I totally support the Idea of a D9 shooter. I loved this movie. But what I got from your listings is that you thinking about some kind of the same story as in the movie. I think it would be better when it is an independent story so nothing is ruined when you already saw the movie. Maybe a protagonist who is a underground rebel fighter who worked with Christopher on his anti-MNU propaganda.

(a) that Neill Blomkamp should direct a METROID movie and (b) District 9 would make a kick-ass video game experience.
