Play Open Season (U)(Rising Sun) Online

Open Season for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2006, published by Ubisoft. It was part of that wave of licensed games that filled the portable library, often based on animated films. This one follows the movie's story, putting you right into the chaotic woodland world with a straightforward, no frills approach typical of the platform.

You control Boog the bear and Elliot the deer, switching between them to use their unique abilities. Boog is strong, able to push heavy objects and smash through obstacles, while Elliot is agile and can jump higher or reach narrow ledges. The main goal is to survive the hunting season, fighting off hunters by throwing squirrels, using a slingshot, or just barreling into them. You explore the forest screen by screen, looking for keys, hidden items, and alternate paths. The pacing is brisk, with some tricky platforming sections that keep you alert. It feels a little rough around the edges, but there's a simple, earnest charm to tromping through the woods causing havoc.
