I think there was water but not much life. Enough proto-life molecules had developed, however, during the solar system's early formation that meteors (of which there were considerably more back then) hit Mars and knocked debris containing these molecules into a collision course with Earth, seeding life here.
This is Eric Asphaug's conclusion as well.

The Martian atmosphere has a bunch of (Argon? Xenon? I forgot the element) that would be indicative of a large or many nuclear explosions. Someone did the math to figure out how long ago (based on the known decay rate) that happened. Fucked if I remember those key details though.
