A competent but overly streamlined CoD experience that, despite having all the ingredients, fails to provide enough of anything to be an essential buy. [Jan 2013, p.102]
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]

features nukehouse, an amazing and intuitive reimagining on what had worked in the past yesteryear. to this day, it is still the most infuriating part when they release a new CoD and would rather include the less impressive and more depressing and infuriating older brother when it simply pales in comparison by the pure genius that was its little brother. to this day, no game ever that contains a multiplayer mode will ever be as groundbreaking as nukehouse was. nuketown falters, nukehouse will never. /s

This game is actually a lot of fun, which honestly is the most important factor in a videogame. The campaign is simple for the handheld capabilities of it's time , yet it's more than any at that time acheived. The Multiplayer can still be active and fun on certain days which is extremely surprising. Overall the game is solid and despite being forgettable it's a classic for some people.

But Declassified also exposes failings of Call of Duty's form and fashion. The game is a cliché, its thrills limited, its time-stretching ploys clear. It's infused with the character of Call of Duty, but stripped of the spectacle it reveals the underlying game to be wholly plain and an uninteresting use of your time.
A frustrating game, uninspired and just smears the name of the series that sells the most in the industry today.
The very worst thing about Declassified is that in reporting its failure we feel like we're writing an obituary for the PS Vita itself...This was make or break for Sony's portable, but such a shamefully underdeveloped shooter disgraces both the PS Vita and the Call Of Duty franchise.
Declassified drags the PlayStation Vita down to new-found depths. Absolutely nothing about this game is fun. The multiplayer is awful, the artificial intelligence is moronic and things that you'd expect to be there are blatantly missing. Fortunately the single player campaign takes less than an hour to finish, so you'll get through it really quickly.
Rather than add a few more multiplayer stages, fix the glitches, fix the connection problems, write a story that might matter to Black Ops fans, add at least a few more campaign missions, and tweak the AI a bit, they released the game in this undercooked state. There's no excuse for that.
Не понимаю, почему критики так разгромили Declassified и при этом не разгромили Black Ops 4? Примерно одинаковые игры, в этой даже сюжетка имеется, правда фиговая, но она как обучение, так что неплохо. Цена здесь даже дешевле. Мультиплеер 10/10.

Campaign is quite bad. Graphics are quite bad. Movement is clunky and AI is unbalanced. I WOULD NOT reccomend the game if you are only planning to play the campaign. BUT< the multiplayer is REALLY fun. Granted, the game have performance drops and very rare crashes during online play, but its REALLY fun! I love playing with my friends online. The online community is also still pretty active with nearly a 100% guarantee to be able to get in a online match with 2-3 other players every time. I'll give this game a 5/10 for it's campaign, but a 9/10 for it's multiplayer. Which give us a score 0f 7/10

Call of duty black ops declassified was the only call of duty on the ps vita and also the only exclusive one for the ps vita. the campaign is very hard even on the regular difficulty and that is the lowest cause there isn't a beginner difficulty, if you die once you will have to restart the whole mission. it's just like the immortal trophy in modern warfare 2 but this time you don't have the choice to do it, it forces you to. the campaign was a pretty good continuation to black ops 1 and the final mission has something to do with the Father of Raul Manendez. the hostiles gamemode is just like modern warfare 3 survival but this time there aren't any buying stations to buy weapons or killstreak from, no this time 1 suply drop will drop after every wave, with weapons, ammo or killstreaks (as far as i have played i only got the mortar kilstreak) and dissepears if you don't get it in time between wave's. it's very addicting to see how far you can get and also very fun to play with the vietnam weapon's, the locations where you survive are multiplayer map's of this game. you can even survive in nukehouse, wich is half of the map of nuketown. time trial's are in this game too just like modern warfare 2 it's good to get to know the controlls and to see how good you're accuracy is. in the campaign you can also breach door's like in modern warfare 2 (with c4 and whille you enter it's in slowmotion). the multiplayer is the best part of this game althoug it has some connection isseas you can get kicked out of a match randomly and most of the time it takes pretty long to get into a match because it has to connect to all player's, but still you can easelly find a team deathmatch or even sometime's free for all matches. it doesn't have any of the icconic game mode's of the black ops series like gun game and it only has 5. it is nice to play with all of the vietnam weapons in a diffrent game then black ops 1 or 2, and even shipment from modern warfare 1 make's an appearance in this game. many black ops 1 map's are made smaller but it doesn't take away of the fun. zombie's didn't appear in this game, but the hostiles gamemode make's up for **** graphics almost look like black ops 1 although sometimes it has some white outlines around your arms and gun but it isn't really that noticible. if you are a call of duty fan especially of the black ops series then you should deffinitly give this a try.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is an absolute dumpster fire ****. 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.

Despite the good graphics and controls, the lack of a zombies mode, short campaign, and numerous bugs cancelled out a lot of the positives for this game.
