Open Season for the Nintendo GameCube is a vibrant action-adventure game based on Sony Pictures Animation's 2006 animated film of the same name. Within the genre of family-friendly games, it allows players to take on the role of Boog, a domesticated grizzly bear, and Elliot, a wild mule deer, as they navigate through the forest to rally other animals against the hunters. With a mix of puzzle-solving and combat, players work together with quirky forest creatures in a humorous storyline to ensure the animals' safety before open hunting season begins.
