I was thinking, if you were going to make a game out of the show doctor who, the new one. What would you guys make? I tried thinking about it and nothing came to me.

Cant do a shoot-em-up as The Doctor doesn't carry weapons, so it'll have to be some type of adventure game, say, in the style of Lara Croft.

Thats kind of what I was going towards as well with his sonic screwdriver as his main "weapon".

Perhaps you should consider a point and click game. Or you could even try a non-violent FPS puzzle game. For instance, rather than shooting creatures, you have to pick a sonic screw driver mode, and point it at locks, and objects to get a result. For instance, the modes could include

Unlock
Repair
Damage
Password/ keypad Break
Power Source
Local Energy Disrupter (temp stop objects from working without damanging them)
Local Energy Field Distruptor (prevents things like teleporter and transmat beams from working)
Tardis remote call (brings tardis to your location)

The key would be to make it a puzzle game where you either have to avoid danager, avoid being shot, hide in shadows, solve puzzles, fix equipment and disrupt equipment, rescue Rose (I don't like the other on was much ) and setup traps.

But the most essential thing would be to have a baddy at the end of it, who ends up killing himself. The doctor always manuvers his enemies into a position where if they carry out their horrible plan, it all backfires on them.

There is/was a Doctor Who game making competition on the BBC Blast site, you don't have to make it yourself, just provide them with an idea. The winning game is/was made into a flash game.

I'd say, a puzzle/exploring/adventure sort of game, like what Kenjar suggested. Oh, and you'd be able to use the TARDIS (although that may be a little too complex)

edit:

Say, you're not trying to trick us into giving you a winning game idea for this are you?

There's a 13 - 19 age restriction mind. Which is incredibily stupid of them. Groups of all ages span doctor who, and their ignoring anyone with any real experiance. No offense to anyone within those age ranges, I just remember how little I really knew, and how much I thought I did know around that age!

considering it all posted on a public forum, if he wins we can certainly dispute the idea he submitted!

yeah the one thing that springs to mind is a point and click adventure. Maybe even a text adventure.

I could see it working kind of like Farhenheit (Indigo Prophecy), with 3D adventuring and then QTE action sequences.

The sonic screw driver wasn't always the magical fix it is in the new series. In eariler series the Doctor tended to build tools that he needed from scratch.
