    As you can likely tell from this review, Hulk Hogan's Main Event seems expansive on the surface, but it's essentially the same basic pieces rearranged and re-swizzled into a few different modes. Hearing quotes from Hulk Hogan is cool, the Achievement Points are easy, and it's definitely novel to strike a pose like the Hulkster. But a bit more grappling freedom would've gone a long way to making this Xbox Kinect game live up to Hulk Hogan's massive persona.

    Passable idea with no charisma or presentation. [Feb 2012, p.99]

    Outside of the core gameplay, the career mode is a bore, the cartoony visual style is ugly, and the voice implementation is super-sloppy. Even as a Live Arcade game, Main Event wouldn't rank high on the fight card. As a fully priced retail Kinect game, it's an embarrassment.

    Hulk Hogan's Main Event is a baffling product, and I have no idea who its intended audience is. I guess it could be for fans of wrestling and crappy Punch-Out clones, but even that doesn't make sense.

I have never experienced such an emotional rollercoaster in a video game before. Never has a game touched upon so many themes such as the emotions of man and the very human soul. A 10 does not suffice. A 100000/10 would only do.… Expand

The only way this game deserves to be the main event, is if the event itself involves it's immediate destruction. Avoid at all costs.… Expand
