Open Season for GameBoy Advance is based on the film, and is quite different from the console version. The story in this version mostly follows the movie.
The game takes place in a domestic setting where a grizzly bear named Boog lives with his caretaker Beth, a park ranger who raised him since he was a little cub. However, when they are dropped into the woods, their world is turned upside down. The hunting season has begun, and Boog must learn to survive on his own.
The gameplay revolves around controlling Boog as he navigates through various animal territories, each with its own set of hunters and boss hunters. Boog can jump, roll, grab, throw forest animals, and roar to scare off the hunters. The goal is to protect the forest animals from being killed by Shaw's team.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this adventure game, a domesticated grizzly named Boog is stranded in the wilderness alongside his troublemaking friend Elliot after being sent there by their owner. The player guides Boog through the dangerous woods, helping him adapt to nature and befriend other animals to overcome the threat of hunters led by the antagonist Shaw. The ultimate objective is to defeat Shaw and restore the forest to its natural state so Boog can safely return home.
Story
Introduction to the Story
Boog, a friendly 900-pound grizzly bear, lives with Park Ranger Beth in the town of Timberline. The domesticated bear spends his days performing in Beth's wilderness show, riding in her truck, and sleeping comfortably in her garage.
Boog lives the good life until a pesky, but fun-loving, one-horned deer named Elliot enters his life and changes it forever.
The Forest Adventure
Elliot gets Boog into some trouble, which forces Beth to send them both to the forest for good. Boog finds himself lost in the wilderness, and matters worsen when he and Elliot realize that hunting season is now open.
All Boog wants to do is get back to his comfy garage in Timberline. To achieve this, he must learn to make friends with other animals and gain their help to scare away the nasty Shaw and the other hunters.
