Reception

Nick Tylwalk of Gamezebo.com rated the game 3.5/5 stars and he praised the controls, the multiplayer feature and stated there is "plenty of WWE authenticity in graphics and audio", but the negatives of the game are the fact it 'leaves you wanting more' and the game is slow and imprecise in the gameplay.[6] Bryan Vore of Game Informer criticised the game's in-ring combat options, limited match types, career mode and stated that "WWE 2K is a bare-bones, yet mechanically functional mobile title".[7]
