    Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is an absolute dumpster fire of a game. According to internet leaks, Activision only gave amateur developer Nihilistic 6 months to make it before chucking it onto store shelves as a $50 premium title. It's an embarrassment to Call of Duty, the Vita, and gaming in general. All that said, Declassified does have a certain charm to it in its own way.Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is an absolute dumpster fire of a game. According to internet leaks, Activision only gave amateur developer Nihilistic 6 months to make it before chucking it onto store shelves as a $50 premium title. It's an embarrassment to Call of Duty, the Vita, and gaming in general. All that said, Declassified does have a certain charm to it in its own way.

    Declassified doesn't have much of a story to speak of. Instead, you get a handful of bite-sized missions with very little story or character development to speak of. The missions usually last no longer than 5 minutes and consist mainly of shooting things until they're dead and moving onto the next area. They're presented in the classic Spec Ops style with each one having 3 stars representative of difficulty.

    Speaking of difficulty, the game actually presents a decent challenge, but not for the reasons you may think. Enemy AI is absolutely horrible to the point that it can actually be comedic. However, this actually adds to the difficulty. Enemies have the tendency to stand in the open and shoot at you, even if cover is in the way. Either that, or they'll charge you with no sense of self-preservation. This means that you'll be constantly under fire from multiple angles and it won't stop until the enemies are dead or you are. It feels more like you're fighting sentry guns disguised as humans rather than actual people. This can be especially challenging on Veteran difficulty. Or sometimes an enemy will just stare at you and not fire at all for several seconds. I've even had enemies run right past me and head for the beginning of the level. Hilariously broken stuff.

    There is also a multiplayer mode and a survival mode called "Hostiles." Multiplayer actually features a complete progression system in the same style as Black Ops 1. Most of the weapons, perks, attachments, and killstreaks are present, which is an impressive feat. However, there are only a handful of maps and most of them are so tiny that it's almost impossible not to spawn right next to an enemy or visa-versa. They literally took Nuketown and cut it in half as one of the maps. It works about as well as you'd expect. I imagine if they had given Declassified adequate time to develop, it could have actually amounted to a quality experience. Sadly, this is what we got.

    Hostiles is a basic survival mode that takes place across the different multiplayer maps a la MW3. You face down endless waves of enemies and get a care package between rounds that gives you a new weapon, killstreak, or refills your ammo with the goal of surviving as long as possible. The biggest issue with this mode is that the care package disappears at the start of the next wave and, despite the small size of the maps, it's often difficult to get to them in the allotted time limit before they disappear, especially since they almost always spawn in on the opposite side of the map as you.

    From a technical perspective, Declassified is far from pretty. Textures are low-res, dark, and muddy. There are approximately 5 different enemy types in the game and you'll often literally kill the same person dozens of times before the level ends. I do like that Nihilistic was able to copy/paste so many weapons and features in from Black Ops 1, but it doesn't mean much when they game they're in is this terrible.

    I actually was able to have a good bit of fun with Declassified, mainly because I accepted it for the terrible game that it is. If you bought it at launch for $50 expecting a AAA experience, you likely feel ripped off, and justifiably so. However, I picked my copy up for around $20 already fully aware of what kind of game it was. It has the charm of a really bad movie that you love to watch because it's fun to do so, if that makes any sense. As a game, it's terrible. As a terrible game, it's kind of endearing. I actually had more fun with this game than I did with Ghosts, which really speaks to that game's lack of quality. They also got James C. Burns back to play Woods, so at least you get to listen to him. And the platinum trophy does present quite a challenge, so if you want bragging rights for conquering one of the worst games ever made, you can certainly try your hand at it.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is a terrible game that you can have fun with if you're so inclined to do so. Everything about it ranges from bad to mediocre. However, if you're like me, you can still enjoy it as an entertaining dumpster fire that you play simply for the lols.    … Expand

I would not recommend anyone go out of their way to buy this game for $50, that's just not fair. However, if you can grab a copy on ebay for around $20 or and you want Call of Duty on the go, this really is not near as bad as the critics have hammered it. Cheers!… Expand

    A new patch came out (late December) for this fixing all the multiplayer issues I was having with the game and ruining my experience.

You can only chat to friends in a party so you don't have to deal with the trash talking especially as you'd have 7 other people screaming 24/7 it's a God send they don't include that feature. A shame for some of you trolls, It's a great game and i recommend picking it up (only if you want an online fps for your handheld nothing else will come close) and just think how good this could be if they put some real effort in on the whole experience.

    For the single player portion of the game (definitely a 1/10) so the game deserves a 6 for it's more than acceptable multiplayer experience. If you want this game for offline do not buy this at all costs, don't even consider it go and buy the Resistance game instead!    … Expand

    This game deserves a bit of praise because it was made in under 6 months and is a game with a fully functional Multiplayer. I did love the Multiplayer part of the game, but the Single Player and Hostiles left me wanting to puke. So this game deserves a solid 5.

    I would recommend buying other better Vita games that are cheaper and better. Such as Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation or Rayman Origins.

    Its no secret that the Vita isn't as much of a success as Sony hoped it would be, so they figured they would just get one of Sony's biggest titles, slap it on the cover of a game, and sell it like hotcakes. The Vitas previous FPS game Resistance: Burning Skies was a flop, and despite its failure, Sony has hired THE SAME DEVELOPER to create their Call of Duty game.

The Vitas previous FPS game Resistance: Burning Skies was a flop, and despite its failure, Sony has hired THE SAME DEVELOPER to create their Call of Duty game. Trust me when I say, this game is NOT Call of Duty. The weapons, Maps, and music may seem familiar to Black Ops on the PS3, but dont expect this to live up to the expectations of the big Call of Duty titles. There is no story, the gameplay is nothing new, and the graphics have actually only gotten worse since Resistance: Burning Skies. I dont know if this was all due to the developers only have 6 months to make the game, or simply laziness. The game does, however, have a few good sides. Nihilistic (the games developer) now has added some extra content for solo play. There are now both Hostiles mode and Time Trials. Hostiles is fun, but its relatively simple and may lead to you just quitting due to the dumb AI. And the Time Trials mode is essentially a variety of training levels stretched into a whole game mode. Now the thing that really hurts the game is the lack of Zombies. Fans of Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops should be very familiar with Zombies as it is one of the greatest ideas in Call of Duty history. Well, Zombies is gone and without it, the game is just no good. Finally, the only upside to the game is the Multiplayer. While the multiplayer is not up to par with Black Ops on the consols, its still relatively fun. Fans of Call of Duty should feel right at home with its classes, killstreaks, and perks.

It's like making a game from scratch. For me, its understandable how this turned out, and I can't deny that I expected more. Despite this, the Multiplayer seemed good and (although with smaller and mediocre levels) playable enough to make me go back and play again when bored. It's NOTHING like its console counter-parts. CRAPPY even if compared. NO KUDOS to you Nihilistic. My 7 is merely for the decent, and sometimes fun, Multiplayer. I hope there will still be a COD for the Vita next time. A new and improved one.

The voice acting is horrible minus Frank Wood's voice actor is still here and the checkpoint system is completely gone making levels hard to complete levels on higher difficulty. The positives the gameplay is the same like other games in the series and the multiplayer is good to come back and play. The last thing a need to say the game was developed in five months and that a fact. Don't play this game, play the new killzone on the Vita instead.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, while occasionally guilty fun, is the epitome of disappointment. Declassified's single player content is broken up into three modes: Contracts, Hostiles, & Time Trials. Operations mode is nothing more than a series of uninspired missions. Additonally, these missions can be completed in under an hour on the preset difficulty. Oddly enough, players can earn XP from completeing these missions. Unfortunately, this XP cannot be transferred to multiplayer. This bears the question of why this was even added in at all. This really is a sorry excuse for a campaign. Next is Time Trials mode, which is definitely the odd one of the bunch. Time Trials is basically just target practice with a timer. This is undoubtedly the least interesting of Declassified's modes, as well as the easiest. The last of the single player content is Hostiles. In Hostiles, players face off against endless waves of enemies. This mode had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it falls flat. The lack of co-op support means players will have to go in solo. Without anyone to play with, this mode was outright boring. This is easily the best of the single player modes, but that isn't saying much. Unfortunately, things don't get much better in multiplayer. Maps are just inferior rehashes from previous games. Also, accuracy plays practically no part in Declassified. Simply spraying your weapon is the best way to go. Finally, connection in general is horrid. Every two out three matches will crash, even with a perfect connection. Declassified developer Nihilistic clearly had a "quantity over quality" mindset when creating Declassified. Overall, Declassified feels rushed, boring, and broken. Its one redeeming value is it's multiplayer, at least when it works.… Expand

    Don't know why too much bad reviews for this game. It's not the best game of the series, but I think it's a good game. It's very alike the Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3), but it has a very quick campaign, but if you try it in veteran you can maintain yourself playing it for hours. And about the multiplayer mode, I haven't experienced any lag matches, since my network isn't any good. ^_^

There are invisible objects, and things you just get stuck on. If you are an achievement hunter, this game will frustrate you beyond anything imaginable.

    Great, hectic fun that'll keep both single and multiplayer Call of Duty fans entertained for hours, with fast-paced, closed in maps for multiplayer and the great, cinematic feel of the console CoD games.

    The game is good for it's multiplayer the Campaign it's really not a Campaign it's just operations with people from the black ops games the only reason you might get this is for it's multiplayer.

    The game cost 20 bucks.

    Waste of money? Yes. Boring after a while? Yes. Kind of fun to play on car rides, in bed, etc? Yes. This game was pretty fun for a little while even though i feel like my money just got thrown out the window. Pretty bad game, but sort of fun to play if you have some spare time.

This game wouldn't be on shelves if it wasn't for the bad graphics, storyline, and terrible game modes. Sony rushed them to make this game before a certain date because no one liked the vita, why aren't they making updated to make declassified better you wonder? because everyone hates it now. There is nothing left to do with the game because all of you guys HATE THE LIVING H3LL OUT OF IT! GUESS WHAT! IF YOU WOULD JUST SHUT UP AND STOP NIT PICKING THE F^CKING **** OUT OF IT, THEN MAYBE THEY WOULD FIX IT! RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK SH*T!… Expand

    Declassified feels like a disappointing DLC bundle rather than a full release. In its best moments it proves that Call of Duty could work on the console, and it has some good ideas – earning XP across single-player for multiplayer unlocks is particularly neat – but it's exceptionally hard to justify how this ended up with a $70 price tag. The very best PS Vita games have proven that, in the portable market, size can still matter. This lesson has, ironically, been ignored by gaming's biggest franchise. [January 2013, p76]

    This'll remind you of the very worst PSone FPS games. [Issue#227, p.77]

    This game should have stayed classified or, at the very least, been redacted.
