With this you'll be thrust in to the high-impact world of backyard wrestling. The first thing that happens during any normal match will be your entrance. You will be guided (as you are throughout the entire game) by a small Hulk Hogan in the lower right corner of your screen. One of the moves Hulk may have you perform is the "Listen to the Crowd" move. This is where Hulk puts one hand to his ear. You will get this move at some point in the game. I lucked out and got it in my first match. That will award

After your entrance is complete your competitor will enter the ring. Then you get to do another entrance as PLAYER 2. That's right; you are playing both player #1 and player #2 in HEAD TO HEAD mode. Anything that either wrestler unlocks should award achievements to you.

During this fight, you should only be given the option to punch/slap/kick your opponent. Wear your opponent down and make sure the last few hits that empty his life bar are punches. This should award

Then you'll have to lean a bit alternating left and right (as if you re-position your weight over your opponent). Once his health bar is depleted you'll get

Step 5:

Time to play career mode! From the main menu select GAMES MODES > CAREER

Career mode consists of playing a string of 10 matches where you repetitively do all the same things you've already done. ENTRANCE, FIGHT, PIN. There will be small changes as you progress through career mode. New moves will be introduced, the venue will change, etc. There are some achievements that can only be gotten during certain moves. If you happen to miss any of these achievements, you'll have additional chances through career mode and your second play through on HARDCORE. However you can always attempt them again via the GAMES MODES > QUICK PLAY menu too.

ENTRANCE: During this stunt (on any level except Backyard Feud) the crowd will throw trash at you. Just dodge all the trash during your entrance. Once you have successfully dodged the trash, return to your normal position quickly otherwise the next dodge may register causing you to get hit.

CHAIR SMASH: This is one of the hardest achievements in the game. If you get it on your first try, consider yourself skilled or lucky. I've only ever caught the chair ONCE in all my tries. During the stunt you will eventually knock the chair from your opponent's hands. While the chair is in the air you need to grab it. You can do this by reaching up. The timing (and the Kinect picking up your intentions) makes the achievement difficult.

Offline Required - This achievement requires play in offline game modesSingle Player - This achievement can be obtained in single player game modesMain Storyline - This achievement is gained automatically by progressing through the main game modeDifficulty Specific - This achievement requires play on a certain difficulty levelPeripheral Required - This achievement requires the use of an input device other than the default
Complete the Career Mode on Average Joe Difficulty.

This will unlock hardcore difficulty. Hardcore mode isn't that much more difficult. The basic changes appear to be that you do less damage, your foe does more damage, and you have less time to react. However the one stunt that seems to be considerably harder is Trade Blows. In Average Joe you can pretty much flail around and win trade blows. In Hardcore it is suggested that you take it a little more slow and steady. Block/Dodge moves and then try to counter. If you connect, try another attack. If you are blocked, stop attacking and wait for your next chance to counter. The hardest dodge to perform for me was when the AI tried to kick me. My Kinect just didn't like to pick up my jumping quick enough. If you have similar issues, perform any attack (I liked the headbutt) and the AI will generally change to another attack that can be dodged or blocked. I also found that blocking the AI punches was more effective and easier than dodging.

Step 6:

From the main menu select GAMES MODES > QUICK PLAY > IRISH WHIP > BACKYARD FEUD > HARDCORE

You'll be informed of a new move where you lift your leg out in front of you as if to kick your opponent in the stomach. Perform this move when prompted and gain the achievement
