Reception

[edit]

Hulk Hogan's Main Event received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1] Dan Ryckert of Game Informer commented that Kinect has a hard time in recognizing many required motions within the gameplay, even when the Kinect device works perfectly.[2] Dave Rudden of Official Xbox Magazine was critical to the game, calling the career mode "boring", cartoony visual style "ugly", and the voice implementation "sloppy".[4] In 2013, GamesRadar+ ranked it as the 40th worst game ever made. The staff criticized its poor Kinect implementation and the dated use of Hulk Hogan.[7]
