A very good kids game that has a ton of family fun wrapped inside.
Gameplay: 6/10
Its good and simple. The gameplay revolves around very easy button presses and movements. You mainly play as Boog(the bear) the entire game, but do have side missions with Elliot(the deer). As Boog , you mainly run around scaring hunters and collecting badges. As Elliot, you do jumping platforms. Nothing in the game is really out of the blue. However, the ease of gameplay is very very positive.
Graphics: 7/10
Now, this is good as well. The graphics look pretty good compared to the movie's CGI. The characters all have a nice detail to them. Overall, no complaints in the department, other than that its dated graphics engine. Still, what did you expect from a game of this caliber?
Sound: 6/10
The voice acting is good, kids will dig it. The missing of Martin Lawrence as Boog is noticeable, but not that noticeable. The sound effects are very good. The music is pretty sweet, but one thing that bothers me is that the music seems to disappear in some levels, which isn't a good thing. overall, this is another catagory to suffer the "kiddie game syndrome" since I can't really score it higher, comapred to what other game's soundtracks are like.
Value: 4/10
Its hard to justify the game as a purchase since it is a very short game, and it does cost about $40 bucks. however, that will go down, so I do say get it when it does get under $20. Also, the achievements in the game are amazing simple to get, so achievement lovers take note. Nevertheless, Rent the game if you ask me. You and your kids can have a blast with it, and complete it, in a week's rental time. Tilt: 7/10
This is a good children's game. The game is very simple, its not covered in bugs, and the characters are neat. Boog is a lovable bear, and Elliot is such a goofy deer. Sony Pictures did a nice job with this movie, and I would love to see a Open Season 2. Overall: 6.2/10.0
Very easy, but very good game. Most will love the nice flow of the game and some be left wanting more. As for me, I enjoyed my short time with the game. I will probably never play it again, but I will remember the characters for quite sometime.
