Product Description
Team up with a cast of crazy critters, unleashing your animal instincts in a riotous rompin the great outdoors in which a rowdy brood of forest animals turns the tables on a bunch of unsuspecting hunters. When a domesticated grizzly named Boog gets lured into leaving the creature comforts of home by a fast-talking mule deer named Elliott, he finds himself lost in the woods just three days before hunting season begins. Forced to rough it in the great outdoors, Boog goes native, rallying all the forest animals to take back their home and send the hunters packing.

 Open season is full of fun November 10, 2008
This game is to fun, not real hard so little ones will get a kick out of it. anyone who just needs a laugh, needs to have and play this game.
Kids love this April 30, 2008
I got this game for my 6 year old son after he tried it at a friend's place and kept asking for it. He loves it. The gameplay is linear and easy. Adult gamers will find it too simple but it's at the right level of difficulty for kids.
You get to pick up the deer and throw him around as some sort of a weapon. You also get to throw skunks, rabbits and hunters. It may sound a bit violent but actually looks quite comical. The dialogues are funny and the missions are peppered with humor.
I wouldn't play this game myself but for the amount of fun that my son is deriving from it, I rate it a 5.
Nephew Loved this game January 17, 2007

Movie tie-in games have a little curse of their own. They tend to be rushed to development to meet the release of the film (or sometimes before) and they tend to be pretty generic or rushed out into production with bugs. Open Season falls into the more generic category and just like other movie tie-ins, the game is hit or miss.
The story of the game is fairly close to the movie. Most of what you do has to do with the film itself. So if you know the story of the movie, you pretty much know the story of the game. The game is, after all, based off the movie. What strikes me as interesting, is how basic and generic the game as a whole is. There are twenty-five levels. A lot of what you do is boiled down to basic fetch quest. A fetch quest every now and then wouldn't be so bad. But these fetch quests come constantly, and they feel more like chores the designers put in just to keep you busy and feel like you're accomplishing something.
You'll play as Boog and Elliot. Most of the time you'll control Boog. As you progress through the game, Boog will learn abilities from other animals in the forest. Learning all these abilities is fun and dandy, but by the time you learn all there is to learn, the game is pretty much over. The other problem with the gameplay is that the game just isn't exceiting to play. In fact, until you get to last four or five levels, it's rather boring to play. The only time it gets exciting is when Boog can use all of his abilities. Then there's a lot of variety to the game. Unfortunately, as I said before, by the time this happens the game is just about over.
The game is carried out through story sequences. Most of it is delivered through lifeless voice acting. At times robotic. The voice cast from the actual movie didn't lend their support for the game. Some voices resemble their movie counterparts but it's pretty easy to hear the difference. They try to add in bits of humor but that doesn't work out too well either. It would be funny if there was some passion behind the voice work, but sadly the game lacks it.
Graphic wise the game doesn't look terrible, but it certainly doesn't push the limits of the system. It looks nice, but it just could've looked better overall. At least there aren't a lot of bugs present in the game like most movie tie ins. This helps the graphics along. While it doesn't look fantastic, it's clean.
There are mini games and such aside from the main adventure. They're actually pretty fun to play if you get some friends to come and play with you. You can also go back to completed levels and finish up any tasks left undone. It's what helps separate Open Season from your primary generic movie tie-in game. It's just unfortnate that the main game isn't as fun to play through.
Open Season is just another run of the mill movie tie-in game. It's almost a national law that a movie has to have a game. Unfortunately Open Season doesn't hold up in the realm of gaming.

I got this game the first day it came out and I thouht it was da bomb! But there was alittle problem with it, it wasn't exactly that interactive. The interaction in the game was so early ps2, and when Boog talks to characters like his owner Beth, Elliot, Mcsquirrely, or Shaw they don't show Boog being interacted by the characters. Also a few of the characters of the movie have the same voices, like Elliot who is played by Ashton Kutcher sounds just the same, and Martin Lawrence who plays Boog also sounds the same. The only guy who didn't sound that much like the actor was Gary Sinese who played Shaw. The game is pretty good because you get to as Boog and Elliot but mostly Boog. I thought that the game was like 2 players as in you team up with Boog and Elliot. You don't play with Elliot that much oly when you help him race Ian, the fastest deer in the forrest, or to help Elliot distract the rangers so when they case you, you stand in the front of the deer trap and they'll run into it. When you play as Boog you could make him roar at the rangers, or hunters, or loggers. You also have a roar meter to let you know how loud or wild you want your roar to be. Also you cold take a little mammal like a squirrel, or a skunk, and a rabitt and you use them to throw at your enemies.
