From the Destructoid review…
“Reviewers have a bad habit of using superlatives, and it’s a habit I’ve been trying to break. A game like Black Ops Declassified makes such attempts all the harder, because calling it the worst PlayStation Vita game ever made, and one of the worst first-person shooters I’ve ever played, feels so damn right. It’s maybe worth buying as a source of cruel amusement, because I’ll admit that, after the fifth soldier committed suicide and yet more fell on their own grenades, I was legitimately laughing. In many ways, nStigate Games’ grisly sin is funny.
However, in many other ways, Declassified is simply sickening. As a $50 videogame bearing the name of the biggest franchise of the generation, this putrid pile of garbage disgusts me. It’s an unforgivable cheapening of the brand and a mark of total disrespect to the fans who’ll be suckered into buying it. Low on content, high on rookie mistakes and amateurish design, Black Ops: Declassified is an insult to pretty much everybody and everything in the videogame industry.
It should have stayed classified. Fuck this game.”
