Reviews

Your Video Store Shelf said, "It sucks. Don’t rent it, buy it, or even skim its synopsis at the video store. Hell, take the actual movie and hide it somewhere, like say, behind the box of Lawnmower Man 2. You’ll be doing the entire world a favor, as I would not condemn my worst enemy to sit through Game Over."

Game Over (originally titled Maximum Surge Movie) was made by combining 65 minutes of original footage with 35 minutes of footage originally filmed for use in five different Digital Pictures games: Maximum Surge (largely believed to be unreleased), Corpse Killer, Prize Fighter, Supreme Warrior, and Quarterback Attack. The storyline ties all these games together as being part of a game that the main character, Steve Hunter (played by Woody Jeffreys), has to play in order to save the world.

The movie lets the viewer know that there are many stars in it - even though they had no part in the creation of the movie! The real stars of the movie (Woody Jeffreys and Dominika Wolski) are given second billing in favor of the stars who appeared in the game sequences (Koenig, Bleeth, Schiavelli). Since the footage was taken five to eight years before the movie was filmed, the footage quality varies from excellent (Corpse Killer) to VHS quality (Supreme Warrior).
