The far-from-ordinary suburban Smashenburn family lives in an alternate video game universe comprised of offbeat characters. Within this world of action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters inspired by popular video games, the Smashenburns find unconventional ways to survive everyday issues. The members of the Smashenburn family include Grand Prix driver Rip, covert agent Raquel, cynical teenager Alice and 13-year-old wannabe rapper Billy. The family's pet is 300-pound Turbo, a talking, cigar-smoking doglike creature who robs pawn shops.

Vocal talents and character animation are all above par. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 10/28/2019
It's OK, but the humor is not funny enough and the concept not unique enough to make it rise above the ordinary. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 10/28/2019
The plotting, dialogue and characterizations in Game Over are solely for the young people V-chips were created to protect, although there's no need to filter this series from any age eyes and ears. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/28/2019
Frankly, it's mostly a snooze. Too bad. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
