Open Season is a video game, based on the movie of the same name. It was released for Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, Game Boy Advance, Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo GameCube. The Nintendo DS version supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
While Patrick Warburton, Matthew W. Taylor, Nika Futterman and Danny Mann reprise their roles from the movie, most of the original voice actors were replaced (for example, Chris Williams and Matthew W. Taylor are the voices of Boog and Elliot in this game).
Boog (Chris Williams) is a 900-pound grizzly who is the star of the town Timberline's nature show (using the nickname "The Mighty Grizzly"). In a dream, Boog chases after a giant version of his teddy bear Dinkleman, but he soon wakes up and he's woken by Beth (Kari Wahlgren), who takes him to the town center for Boog's performance. But Beth finds that Shaw, the town's nastiest hunter, has already hunted a buck (open season is about 3 days away) and she goes in Sheriff Gordy's police department to confront Shaw. The buck (Matthew W. Taylor) wakes up and introduces himself, his name being Elliot. Boog reluctantly frees him, and Shaw (Darryl Kurylo) vows revenge on Boog after Sheriff Gordy (Carlos Alazraqui) tells him he's been living in the woods too long. That night, Elliot decides to "free" Boog in return. He manages to lure him to the convenience store, where they finish all the chocolate bars (which Elliot calls Woo-Hoos) there, but they're discovered by the police and knocked down with a tranquilizer gun by Beth and brought to the Timberline National Forest until the start of open season. There, Elliot claims that he knows how to get back to Timberline, and Boog reluctantly follows him.
