2.0 out of 5 stars
First of all, I always respect other peoples point of view when it comes to taste, that said... I really, really don't understand why people are 4-5 staring what is a total embarrassment of a "call of duty" game..
PROS: It gets the job done when it comes to graphics and controls, there's some fun to be had with multiplayer when you can actually play a game.
CONS: Everything Else, from the laughable "single player campaign" the hugely broken multiplayer experience (even after the huge 300+ mb patch)the non existent AI and glitchy sound (wear headphones and you'll hear the cracks and pops) the LONG load times on multiplayer...you get the picture.
After playing this game for a few days I am hugely disappointed and I feel suckered in to spending 50 dollars on a product that is half baked and extremely rushed to the market to capitalize on the hype behind Black Ops II that ended up being an insult of a game to us call of duty fans.
Activision promised us a single player campaign that would bridge what happened between black ops to black ops II, what did we get? a poor man's unit 13, with 10 missions, yes 10 missions!! that take between 2-10 minutes to finish, what did activision do as an excuse to extend the life of the "campaign"? well they upped the difficulty level on the hard setting to a ridiculous cheap degree and didn't add checkpoints between missions so you would have to start over from the beginning of the mission and thus taking more time to finish the game with all the missions 3 starred, but play it on the easy level (one star) and you can finish this under an hour, oh and leveling up on single player is also pointless because you can't transfer it to multiplayer (wtf?).
What about multiplayer? well.. if you manage to get connected and play a game, it's not as bad as the single player, but you only get a handfull of maps (Six) and they are quite small, I ended up spawning right in front of the enemy every now and then which resulted in an instant kill as you can imagine that it is very annoying when that happens.
Like I said, I don't understand why people are raving about a half baked, unfinished product that sells for full retail and to add insult to injury activision even charges a 10 dollar premium over the standard 39.99 price for a Vita game because it carries the call of duty name because they know this horrible game will sell.
Sony was counting on Assassin's Creed Liberation and this game to do what Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 did for the 3DS last year, Assassin's Creed wasn't an amazing game, but it was above average, you can tell the developer put it's heart into it.... but declassified ? this game is just trash. I hope Killzone, (which is actually being developed by Guerrilla, the actual developer/creator of the franchise, declassified was developed by Nihilistic a company known for producing below average games, why activision choose them to develop a game for one of the biggest franchises in the history of gaming is beyond me) shows us how its done.

2.0 out of 5 stars
EDIT: Having played it more extensively, I can honestly say it's a pretty bad game. I've updated my review (though it's mostly additions to the old review).
Full disclosure: I got the Call of Duty set as a gift. I would never buy this game normally unless it was absurdly cheap, and by that I mean like $5. I'm not that into FPSes and if I am my preference runs Playing on PC >>>> Playing on Console > Playing on handheld. Having played it more thoroughly now, let me tell you: don't buy it unless it's like $5. $10 if you're a CoD fan. And if you need to save money, don't buy this at all.
Graphics: Fairly nice for a handheld.
Sound: No complaints.
Load times: Not great, but really not too bad though.
Game engine: Frustrating. It's probably just me, but things don't act consistently for me. Sometimes it'll "auto aim", sometimes it won't. (I never had this problem with the console versions of CoD). Sometimes I'll get stuck on the edge of a box and "run" but not get anywhere. Wide open area, just my hip was caught on the box and I was running in place. I don't remember having that problem in the past... 5+ years. The AI is also bizarrely stupid. It'll shoot at you non stop even if they can't see you or can't get to you. By that I mean they'll hide behind something and shoot at the thing they're hiding behind non stop sometimes. Or sometimes they'll run in front of you and stand there staring at you for a few seconds before starting to shoot. Also it's pretty obvious the game "cheats" by spawning guys at certain events. By that I mean you can clear out a room and then once you cross a certain area, the door you came from closes by itself and suddenly 6+ guys stand up from behind various boxes (that were obviously not there earlier). Also some things are really awkward. The touchscreen grenade and knife feel really awkward for me to use so I usually never use them. And there's one part where I'm fighting enemies and there's one enemy left upstairs. I went upstairs to kill the enemy and you know what happened? The game said "turn back to continue mission" and I kept on going since the bad guy was just around the corner and... "Mission Failed". Stupid.
Difficulty: Having to start the mission all over when you mess up is really annoying. Parts of the game gets hard enough (even on the easier mode) that it pretty much requires you to know where guys spawn because there's a ridiculous amount of enemies at times. This is a problem because it makes the game way too hard or way too easy. There's parts where I get utterly dominated since so many guys pop up but after a few play throughs you know where the guys are and it becomes super easy. Nihlistic decided the way to make the game difficult was to spawn millions of guys instead of actually have smart AI. The star system is kind of annoying too since it assumes everyone is a top notch Call of Duty player. The first time you play a mission, no matter how good you are you'll get the worst rating just purely because to get the best 2 ratings you have to rush through the entire map. You'll have to know exactly where to go and where most of the enemies spawn. As someone who's used to exploring and being careful, having it tell me I did a one star job gets annoying.
Story: Yawn. I'm not too far into it though, maybe it gets better. And now that I've played much more of the game... it doesn't. The story doesn't matter at all. Basically just "kill everything and follow the game prompts". There is no story really.
Game length: There's only 10 campaign missions, all of which last about 5-10 minutes max. There's like 4-5 timed missions which last about 2 minutes each max. I don't play it multiplayer so I can't tell you anything about that.
Conclusion: It's a pretty terrible game. I can see people who love CoD enjoying the game a little bit but even big CoD fans will find this game underwhelming. Maybe the multiplayer is a lot of fun though. I don't know. I just know the single player game is terrible.

Much Better than People Make it out to be.
This is a very fun game. Yes, it has problems too. But you have to realize your playing this on a handheld device, so cut it some slack. For what this game does, it's amazing. Read more

Dont waste your money.
Almost no content here and the content that is given appears to be overcompensated for with rediculious difficulty. Save your money.
