Side by Side Comparison of: Sony vs Electronic Arts vs Activision

My son loves it. Says it's one of the best games he's gotten for the vita

So much fun, reminds me of Call of Duty! I played lots of it, but I'm still not finished. Lots of levels, very action packed and thrilling. Excellent war game!!

Great game if you used to enjoy older titles like SOCOM US navy seals

Fast shipping, one of my teenage son favorite games.

Unit 13 is an AWESOME portable TPS. It's definitely worth the price tag with tons of replayability. Another plus is that the game came in TWO FORMATS. With the online pass voucher I got a digital copy and the online pass so in addition to the physical game card I also got the digital copy of the game to put on my memory card. This is an awesome set up. I don't even need the game card anymore!

I was hoping that a SOCOM-type game would be out for the Vita and Unit 13 does not disappoint! The graphic are great for a hand-held platform, the game itself is a lot of fun. Their are a variety of mission types for every type of gamer; stealth, tactical, and run & gun. The only complaint I can think of is the limited weapons choices, as there are numerous weapon systems that I would love to see employed in this game. Aside fromm that small complaint, I think this is the best release for the Vita to date. It is fun, addictive, challenging, and an all around great game.

EXCELLENT DESCRPTION! EXCELLENT SELLER!!

Loved the game. The graphics are really great especially for a PS Vita game. The control are really easy to figure out and handle. The game it's self really brings back memories of need for speed underground 1 & 2 and other need for speed games. Very nostalgic and a bonus that you can play online with others very easily. It's super fun and exciting. If your thinking or hesitant on getting this game, no worries it's really a awesome game. I Would totally recommend getting it. :D

I like the series but I think the older ones were better. I don't know if it's me getting older though but it is still a very fun game to play.The different modes are great because this way you can switch between them and don't get tired. I personally like to try great escapes and share my replays, they are the most fun.

Great game, really exciting, the graphics are not stunning but still beyond expectation. Controls are smooth, the game fits on the psv perfectly without glitches. Very challenging though, it will teach you serious lesions about using te brakes!

I can't even speak right now. I can't brag enough on this game. I was so blown away of how the reflection of the sun and rich detailed visuals seem to pop right out of the screen at you. Roar pass the cops going 160MPH in loud powerful sports cars. Give them a run for their money, and lead them into traps, then leave them 1 mile behind. Go into a dark alley cut off the engine and lights while the back tires smoke, and watch the cops blow right pass you like fools as you hide in the shadows letting your heat level cool down. Seconds latter the heat meter lowers then you've evaded the cops. The only thing left to say is just buy the game. It's fun and very addicting.

Wow! I gotta say, Ive owned plenty of need for speed games since the PS1 days. But Ive never been a huge fan.To be honest, the best driving game I ever played to date has been Blur because of the speed, challenges, and all the other non driving elements it added to the experience (shunting someone into oblivion at top speed to take 1st place!! LOVE IT)This game offers the same excitement! So many challenges! Super fast speeds! Racing! Evading Police! Open world!EA did a great job with this game.The only thing to mention is it is harder to see some things on the small vita screen (upcoming traffic, OSD, etc..)The graphics arent as polished as the PS3 version either, but they did a great job of not leaving anything out of this version.Also, the game is not cross save. So your game is independent from the PS3 version if you own that as well. No pick up and play where you left off. Kinda sucks since they packed everything in the vita model to make the game virtually the same as the ps3 version aside from the graphics.I highly recommend this game!

A+

I own 62 hard copy Vita Games. I have all the FPS games there are. This is not the most complete or prettiest Vita FPS game, but its still one of your best options for mil-fps. Obvious Killzone is best, but after that you have Borderlands(not mil-fps), unit 13(3rd person), resistance(not mil-fps).... Get my drift. Its got plenty of levels, and multiplayer is there, just dont expect console content or interaction. Play it for its burst single player experience. It will fill your jonze if you dont go into it expecting COD Black Ops 3.

Call Of Duty is my son's favorite game. He graphics are perfect each mission is different and it is entertaining

Great mobile Call of Duty. The multiplayer is great, the maps are fairly small but they work well on the vita. Definitely a Call of Duty game, perks, kill streaks, and COD maps all on the go. The campaign is short (each level takes less than 10 minutes) but fun. Spans Cold War era 1960's to 1990). Wish I hadn't listened to the negative reviews and got the game earlier. It is my favorite shooter on the vita (Killzone is good too, but gameplay feels slower). Highly recommend

Wow what a game nook town online what on the go omg life is awesome I must say u was little hazetant about this game thinking it was low quality and it will lag and the map must suck but it's the opposite all the maps are awesome and it plays with no lag. Amazon always comes threw with the price and to me the most important shipping omg love amazing thanks

Ok it is a good game but it's way to short. And don't buy it off here it's a rip off u can get it on the psn for 10 bucks

This is still one of the best vita games out there! It has amazing graphics and gameplay.. I can only imagine how I would've looked had the dev made this further into the vitas life cycle knowing more about the hardware and development tricks. Either way it's a great game.. It's selling sealed on ebay for $30+ and Amazon has it for $17.99 and free shipping with prime.. You can't beat it!

Decent Vita version with lots of content. Key game features include:Versatile gameplay for the Uncharted fan: Traditional (Dualstick Analog/button) or interactive (NGP features) allows players to choose the method that compliments their playing style.• Through utilizing the technology of the OLED screen, Uncharted: Golden Abyss delivers the signature Uncharted cinematic experience on-the-go.• Epic single player campaign that takes players through richly detailed realistic environments and undiscovered lands.• Experience the adventure of uniquely acrobatic Uncharted gameplay, optimized with PlayStation Vita controls• Touch, and tap the screen to swing, jump, and traverse non-continuous game sections, like crumbling bridges and river crossings• Rub the screen to take important imprints of in-game relics found• Utilize the motion-sensing controls of the PS Vita's internal gyroscope to balance Drake as he crosses slippery logs, and as an aiming method in shooting situations• Puzzle solve as you collect the relics hidden throughout the game

Like most Uncharted games. A good story and a relatively relaxed play-through.This one uses some gimmicks for the PSP Vita, like making you swipe the front and rear screens for tasks at times and using the gyro to due balancing and even using the camera as a light sensor at times. These I find sometimes annoying. But it isn't terribly obtrusive to enjoying the game.The story isn't as good as Uncharted 2, which was my favorite, but it's still good. The voice acting, as usual, is excellent, and the fun factor is very high.I play it on the bus to work, about 20 minutes twice a day, and it's easy to put down and pick up, and the story is engaging. My bus trip is often over too soon now!

There are some very detailed walkthrough like reviews on here for this game, so I won't go into too much detail about the plot or the gameplay. Some of the touch screen elements are utilized well and make for fun gameplay even if they do get repetitive. Overall the gameplay feels like the previous iterations of the franchise although I think this game feels more like the Drakes Fortune than Drakes Deception. The voice acting is as great as always, the sound as well. Doesn't seem to have any new themes or overtures as far as music, and some of the distant backgrounds in the level design (particularly jungle levels) looks like a painted backdrop, I have no real gripes about this games and love It like all the other Uncharted games. This is definitely one of the best games I've played on a handheld device, certainly one of the best looking. If you are an Uncharted fan, you will wanna play this game.

Let`s get my video game experience out of the way: I`ve owned every single portable video game console starting from the Gameboy. Have I played the most important portable games from The Legend of Zelda XD to Peace Walker? Absolutely. I`ve pretty much played every important portable video game title ever created. Now let`s talk about this jewel named "Uncharted: Golden Abyss."First of all, it`s said that Peace Walker is the most amazing portable game created, but it can`t compare to this one in terms of action, gameplay and almost everything else. This game feels like the real thing. It does not feel crippled in any way. There are some hiccups, but remember this a launch tile, where developers get to know the console potential. However, this title feels like no other portable. Is it the Vita? If yes, I don`t wanna think about future games in terms of graphics because Golden Abyss looks like heaven.The title is over 20 hours of story and over 100 hours to get all trophies including the ones in the game and the PSN`s ones. Besides it will take a lot of work to collect every treasure. I guess there are over two hundred objects to collect if I am not mistaken. The game is huge from every perspective that you want to see it: graphics, exploration, gameplay and story. Probably Sony knew that it needed something this big and good to keep early adopters happy.If you happen to own a Vita, just buy this game and get ready play the most amazing portable video game experience ever created. This game puts every other portable video game to shame and rightfully so. It should keep you happy while you wait for Call of Duty and AC which are going to be awesome because of the Vita`s incredible potential.

I have never played a game in this franchise, until my purchase of this PS Vita title. I am not a big fan of action/adventure games, but found myself pleasantly surprised by how much fun this game was to play. I particularly enjoyed the black market, and the collecting of bounty items throughout the game. I like the ability to replay different chapters even before completing the game fully. I did find myself getting stuck a few times during shootouts, but I am not a big fan of shooter games (and have played very few action games) so this is a very minor issue- that is more likely a result of the genre of the game than any fault with the difficulty of the game itself.Overall, I would recommend this game.It has: -good graphics, -quite a few items to collect, -the ability to trade items with other players through the Near app with Black Market, -a good plot with solid historical background (even the items you find come with small descriptions/exposition on their historical significance/background, which was a very nice touch), -good character development, and -utilizes not only the joystick but also touch controls, as well as the back touch control of the PS Vita.

Here's the thing... if you were into Socom back in the day, then you'll most likely kind of dig this game. Because it kind of reminds you of Socom 2 a bit... but then again, it reminds you of Socom 4... *shivers... vomits in mouth* sorry... yeah. It's one of those "things" but, any Socomer worth their salt will give this one a go, it's pretty solid for a mobile shooter, controls quite well (and i'm a PC guy these days) so that means a lot lol. Missions are well... mission based. You deploy into a fairly generic area and kill generic bad guys, good time waster during lunch... or when you're trying to pull one over on the old man for docking your overtime because he's a flaming _____! Yeah that's right Tom! I'm saving the world from terrorism, ON YOUR DIME SUCKER!

Not bad of a game

This is a very fun, portable shooter game. It's premise and gameplay are nothing revolutionary but that doesn't mean its bad. The overall experience is very well tailored to playing on the go and most encounters and maps seem to consider the limitations of the platform so things don't become unfair. The one negative thing I can think of is that there are only around 6-8 levels with different objectives for each. If the levels had more areas or more diversity it would feel a little less stale halfway through the game.An overlooked and very fun game on Vita you can pick up for the price of a downloadable title.

I originally bought this game to bolster my vita library it was cheap, and a genre I rather like, but I didn't expect much, saying that it was well worth the purchase. It is set up in a series of smallest scenarios (tailoring itself for mobile gamers) but has tigh controls, great graphics and is an excellent balance of first person shooting and mobile gaming. Its not quite call of duty, nor is it trying to be and that is a good thing.

A good TPS but overall nothing really too original about the game we haven't seen or done with previous games like COD/BF/GOW and other FPS/TPS games still at the end it does give the player what you bought the game for, and entertaining and fun time playing the game though the game play is obviously shorter then a console version would be.

I like how this game (on most maps) allows for multiple ways to approach an objective. I can't remember if the old Socom FTB games were like this at all, I just remember that those old title seemed highly linear (though still enjoyable). I won't say it's fully open world; it's that each objective step usually allows for multiple ways of entry. You can also opt to go stealthy (which the game rewards) or going all in and killing everything in sight. There are no bonuses for the mid-way approach of neutralizing some targets and then later sparing others. If you have played those old Socom games, this title is like a further iteration of that series.It's good that the game allows people to customize how they want to play a bit, ranging from the characters with different specialties (one guy is the stealth guy, one guy is the all-out assault guy, another is the shotgun guy, etc). Plus you can switch from firing your weapon in third person or utilize a first person perspective just like in Battlefield or COD. There's a lot of replay value here b/c each of the characters is attached to a particular unlockable that opens up for all the other characters. For example, leveling up the stealth guy up to lvl 4 opens up the assault rifle suppressor for everybody else, etc. Plus there's the replay value of trying to get better times online, or mostly just focusing in on gathering stars to open up the High Value Target missions.Playing the game is...extremely addictive, esp. with those of us with OCD (lol, including yours truly). You will WANT to keep playing until you win the mission, which is what makes the game hard to put down. This is in part to some of the slightly broken mechanics, luckily the game is fun enough that most people will overlook the following shortcomings:1) There are certain enemy types (I like to refer to these guys as the "guys with the chambray shirts"), who will just straight up rush at you. It depends on how you are positioned with their line-of-sight, but anyhow, in most cases, they will recklessly rush you. The terrorists must be paying these guys and their families really, really well. The frustrating part comes if you're using a weapon that you either can hold down and fire full-auto or is otherwise relatively weak (mp5 is notably less powerful than in other games like COD4). They move around too quickly and then will insta-kill you in one shot as they flank around the corner, you being unable to quickly turn to attach them. There are even times when I'd have the drop on them, and they'd still manage to fire off a single round as whipped around the corner, ending my mission.Worse yet, even in yellow status (indicated they've know you're lurking around supposedly don't know where you are), they'll still make a beeline for your location.This ends up making them the bane of a couple CQB maps in this game.2) I've lost count, but it's worth noting that there's quite a bit of map recycling for different missions. There are a total of 36 missions, but I'm guessing off the bat there are only about 18 maps. But the maps are so different and well-done that it's not a dealbreaker. Some of the doors are locked, while open in other missions, and some maps might have you moving from point B to point A instead of the original point A to point B. Just mentioning this since this might irritate some.3) Some of the shooting from cover can get a bit wonky. There'd be times in fierce firefights where I sometimes couldn't pop out of cover to fire b/c I needed to scoot to the far extreme edge of the cover. Other times, I'd pop out of cover, only to find my reticle pointing uselessly into the edge the piece of cover I was hiding behind. I'd thus have to disengage clinging to cover in order to fire properly.4) Like other 3rd person shooters, the cover mechanic of being locked onto a particular piece can get ugly, as oftentimes the guys mentioned in (1) will rush you and being stuck to cover, certainly doesn't help to take them down. That pretty means they must be shot before they get too close, it takes too long to disengage cover and swing the knife when they are close. In a piece of laughable "suspension of disbelief", there'll be times where it looks like you're concealed, thought not sticking to cover, only to get discovered by the enemy, and conversely, there'll be times when you're in cover and your head or weapon barrel is blatantly sticking out, and the enemy still won't see you at all. The A.I. is serviceable though not very smart in that regard.5) The "High Value Target" missions don't have checkpoints. That's a design choice I understand, but there should've been an option to have checkpoints for these, as they tend to be the longer missions, and repeating them 3+ times over until completed seems like a big time waster (which is OK, I had fun).6) Like "Pursuit Force" on the PSP, the timed missions (a game type I absolutely hate b/c it usually involves rote trial-and-error practice to complete) have relatively tight time limits. Worse, even if you finish the objective, you still have to race to the finish line, which isn't always easy to find the first-time thru. Luckily, this mode does have checkpoints at each objective. I was so glad to finish these off first and out of the way. They can be exhilarating, but at least one of them I had to play 10x over b/c I kept screwing up. I think I was tired and should've quit while I was ahead.Anyhow, if I think of anything else to add, I'll edit this later. But this game is definitely a must-buy aside from the quibbles above.

Could've been more drivers hands don't even move with wheel turns.

Good game.

Excelent , all ok.

Last time I played NFS was many years ago with a PS 2 console.Found out playing it on PS Vita is a bit more difficult. The Gameplay is also different from what I was expecting.I will give it a chance, I still need to get used to it.Graphics are great though!

Typically, I absolutely hate arcade racing games. 99% of the NFS series is trash to me. Burnout is even worse. In my opinion those games are super repetitive, boring, and have some of the lamest gameplay in the racing genre. I only got this game, because I figured it might be ok on the Vita. I was right. It is a fun game on the go. It's basically the exact same game as the PS3 version (with weaker graphics, and less traffic) which is pretty impressive. It's not the best looking Vita game but considering the open world, it's really good for what it is.It's challenging, and fun to play. There's a lot of great cars to unlock so playing it is indeed rewarding. It's the only NFS game I've liked since NFS 1 Road and Track edition lol

hey cool it's need for speed most wanted 2012.I played the need for speed underground games so I was hoping for some customizing in the game. You can't customized the look of the vehicle.vehicle graphics look good and backgrounds or good to okay.you can improve your vehicles performance with upgrades.some of the cars can be clumsy and are out of control at high speeds.there is a lot of vehicles and a lot of races.beating everyone on your most wanted list you get the credit roll.(beat the game)expect a lot of intensional crashes accidents.

this game is very fun online is the best it feels just like the ps3s online but one thing that you should now is that it does not have zombies which is a bad thing but it really does not change this review. But overall

I've heard really bad things about this title but also some good things. I took a chance and bought it and boy I'm glad I did. The multiplayer is very COD. It definitely has that feel to it. The maps are a bit smaller though which I haven't found to be an issue. I do want to say that you will get kicked from games alot UNLESS you make a parry on your vita, you can make it private so no one will join your party if you want. After that's done open up the game and select party matchmaking and make sure it's public. That will solve that issue. I haven't tried the "campaign" but who buys COD for that anyway lol

This is a great game it's a perfect way to get lost in paradise

Hey stop hating on the game so much. I was made by a new company and gives me what I wanted out of it. It's not on a main console so you can't expect it to be a cod 3 so stop hating. Most people don't even play call of duty for the campaign it's for the multi player and this is great for a handheld version.

I'm not sure why people are hating on this game so hard. It's not the worst game I've played, and it's also not the best.Yes the single player doesn't have a good story but when has a Call of Duty game ever been played for its single player?The multiplayer is what you're paying for here.Bottom Line: If you like the normal Call of Duty multiplayer then you should get this game. If you don't then don't consider buying this because you'll hate it.

Campaign is short but gives you a standard shooting experience.pros:-great multiplayer experience in the palm of your handcons:-price is higher than most vita games-some flaws experienced early on with dumping me back to the main menu during multi-player, but those have not happened recently.

Not to bad of a game

As a Uncharted fan, this game hits the spot. Overall, it is very good and pretty long. Has all the familiar mechanics of the console version. You can tell it isn't a Naughty Dog game due to some minor bugs and occasionally annoying controls.

This is a must have game for the Vita. It takes 10 hours on Average to beat the game if you're playing on Normal. Also for those wondering if there is Multiplayer, there is no Multiplayer so its Single Player only. The game might not be as good as the first 3 but its still a top notch Uncharted game. The game does have an Uncharted: Drake's Fortune feel to it. Like i said this is a must have game for the Vita.

Really fun game with beautiful graphics. I used to have a Gameboy and loved the James Bond games, and this game kind of reminds me of them. I'm a chick who doesn't usually like games with guns and violence, I'm more of a Little Big Planet kind of gal. But this is really fun.

I bought this game when the Vita launched in the US back in Feb 2012.Graphics: The graphics in the game are the best for a handheld. The game looks about as good as the original Uncharted on ps3. Textures are clear and the character models and animation are top notch.Gameplay: Golden Abyss is a standard 3rd person action game. You jump,shoot and solve puzzles. The game also adds Vita specific functions like touchscreen use and motion control.Story: The story is a typical Nathan Drake adventure. I found the story to be weaker then the Uncharted's on PS3 but its not terrible by any means.Length/Extras: With 34 chapters and trophy support there is plenty to do in the game. I beat the game on normal in about 7-8 hours.Uncharted Golden Abyss is the best reason to own a Vita.

As a little background, I have not owned a portable gaming console since the original gameboy. I do heavily game on home consoles though (mostly PS3). I have also never played any of the Uncharted series (I hope to pick up the PS3 Uncharted's soon).For those completely unfamiliar with this game or the Uncharted series, think of these as the quintessential Indiana Jones video game experience. You have action, humor, exploration, and more. Your gametime will be split between: exploration (although very linear most of the time), shooting bad guys, light puzzle solving (if you are looking for Portal 2 or Braid type puzzles look elsewhere), and witty dialogue. The game is divided up into Chapters, but the chapters transition seamlessly to one another (for example, you may be running down a path and on screen it will tell you that are you starting a new chapter)The game in my opinion is quite a technical feat. It is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the gameplay never really quite matches the technical wondery of the game and the use of the Vita's touch functions is a little heavy handed. Here is a summary of my thoughts on the game:The Good:- Amazing graphics on a handheld. Seriously, this game floored me with its visuals- The dialogue is humorous (It is my understanding that general opinion is that the PS3 Uncharteds have better stories though)- Decent variety of gameplay. Controls well. (note: dont forget, physically moving the vita moves your aiming reticle when you are in shooting mode! I forgot that and was wondering why my reticle was moving all over the place)- Some touch screen controls implemented well, such as throwing grenadesThe Bad:- Way too much forced use of the Vita's functions. Balancing on a log every single time you cross one is annoying (the way it is scripted...would have been better if it happened more "naturally"). Having to "wipe" artifacts clean of dirt is tremendously annoying and is just busy work. Etc.- I personally found the climbing sections to be dreadfully boringThe Ugly:- There is a part of the game where to read a hidden message on a piece of paper you literally have to hold your vita up to a very bright light (I had to hold it inches away from a lamp bulb). This is forced and you can't avoid it. Why is it bad? Because I, and potentially many other people, play my vita mostly in bed before I go to sleep!! I didnt want to wake my wife up so I had to get out of bed and go to a different room to turn the lights on. Imagine being on a red-eye airplane flight and having to turn on the lights to play, etc.Conclusion:A solid B+ (rounded to 4 stars) Vita game that is sometimes a little too focused on silly touch implementations. I would recommend it to most.

eh is fun if you are really board

is a good game, but is a shooter without an specific history you only move to a mission to another one, and that is it, not is a really big deal

Not a bad game, lower level graphics and a bit difficult to get the hang of at first. Have not tested multiplayer mode yet.

I really like this game. Very fun to play the mission are longer then I expected which makes the game more fun.

I like shooters , just recently I got into shooters and now I love them . At first I thought this game was going to have a story mode but it actually does not have a story mode instead you get a bunch of missions you can do and clear them to move on to the next mission and you can choose from different characters . SO there is no story mode but a bunch of mission . Game play is fun and . its an ok game .

I think this is one of the best hand held games yet. But then again, I love the Lego games. Worth the 9 dollars I spent on it. Free shipping of course.

game play is okay, all the same

this game does look fairly good for the vita but it definitely doesn't deserve the praise everyone gives it. I have much more fun playing sonic all stars racing or mod nation than this game.

For me the screen of the vita is jus too small to play this on, I don't even attempt races anymore, I just drive around evading police. Game is alright, don't recommend

I have owned this game on the PS3 as well and it's great to own it at the palm of your hands. The graphics are a bit downgraded from the Playstation 3 version, but it still looks great for a handheld console. Only downside that it's not a cross-save...I don't like the fact that everything is unlocked from the get-go, instead of unlocking cars as you progress. Also, there's no actual story, only 10 "most wanted" cars that you have to beat in order to get their cars. But, there's a lot to do - smash gates, smashing billboards, collecting cars and going through speed cameras. Finding all of the cars can consume some time as well. The car list is a bit lacking, having about a third in the quantity as opposed to NFS Hot Pursuit, for example. The multiplayer is nice but suffers from frequent disconnections from the EA servers.Overall, if you like racing games and you're looking for one for the Vita - This should be your choice. The game is very enjoyable, with or without friends.

Overall this is great game to play!As you check out all the cars and try to win all the challenges, you earn speed points and more speed points to win all the cars. Cops chase you and some are quite challenging as well. Here's my pros and cons for this game.Pros:*All the best cars in the world today and the past plus more!*Cool videos once you unlock challenges and finish the game*Makes you wanna come back to see if you complete the car fully tuned up and what it can do*Network play! And not just your fellow neighbor...all over the world who has this game!Cons:*No decals or anything to customize the cars except the colors which you get from going to garages*Very basic storyline. You come into the city. You win cars from races. That's about it. One thing that kept me going back in the first game (the original Most Wanted) was the cool play out of the story. In fact, all the storylines from this franchise. What happened here, EA Sports? This soon becomes a game of numbers wherein your task is to hit 100%. It's different when you hit 100% and everyone asks you what you did find out about the story.It's welcome to see this game back but after you win all the cars..it kinda leaves you wanting more from this game.Updated last March 11, 2013:I've downgraded this review to only 3 stars as although EA has released 3 different DLC packs including the Legends and other free stuff in the game it is ONLY available for the PS3 owners and not yet for the PS Vita. There has been feedback requesting for it but all that Electronic Arts has said is to wait for the exciting news. Unless the company makes this available for this platform, I'm sticking to my 3 star updated review.

I like that they've literally port over the console version, but I wish they've adjusted it more to fit the Vita screen. The game is fun, and I enjoy the graphics, but I found that after playing for a good 10 mins or more my eyes will strain. It is mostly because of the bad environment textures. The car models are really nice, but this game still feels like it's lacking.

Very repetitive. Game only like the multiplayer

It's a solid MP game on PS Vita. Now even on Weekday night you can still find players, at least on the east coast. Network can sometimes be unstable but what can you expect from a wireless device.And talking about MP, it has weapon leveling, prestige, killstreaks. It's Call of Duty, there's no doubt on it. It's just because of the power of Vita is so weak that for the instance it can only supports to run the Nuketown map on less than half of the original area, so spawning right behind your enemy (or vice versa) is a common thing (and please don't expect kill cams.) Due to the fact that the map is so small it's a heaven for SMGs but not for flash bang and knife runners because of the damn control that you have to touch the right side of your screen to throw a grenade or melee it's almost impossible to aim your throw/knife so I constantly get killed by my own grenade after I tried to throw it threw a doorway.Single player wise it just copy and pasted most assets from Black Ops thus you can't feel too much of a difference except in control.BUT, the worst part of this game is its single player. There is no checkpoint (yes you read it). True there are also "operations" in MW2 and MW3 with no checkpoints but those levels are carefully designed by IW and you can have a friend in COOP to revive you. But in this game? Let's put it simple, it's total bs. You have to complete all the different and sometimes misleading objects and survive the rain of fire from enemies without dying or failing any one of the object or the entire mission has to be restarted. I am a patient player and I've beat every single COD on veteran level but this single player campaign gives me cancer.TL;DR If you are looking for a Vita Multiplayer game with population and familiar system (while having strong internet connection like home, don't try it at places like Starbucks), go grab it. If you are only looking for single player campaign experience, go get Infinite Warfare, it's better, I'm serious.

game is so-so

Here's a list of pros and consPros-It still have the cod feel-Online Multiplayer (Max 4v4. You'll hardly notice the difference though)-Create classes (Max 5)-Campaign is full of action, a bit lengthy, and difficult-Hostiles mode aka Spec Ops is somewhat fun-Decent amount of gun selection (except snipers and shotguns)Cons-Not enough snipers and shotguns-NO ZOMBIES!!!-Hostiles or Spec Ops as I like to call it, is SINGLE PLAYER. And there's no gun, perk, or support stations. Just a care package that doesn't always help-kill streaks: UAV, Care package, Counter UAV, Airstrike, Sentry gun, Advance UAV, Helicopter-Multiplayer game modes: TDM, Free-for-all, Dropzone aka headquarters, kill confirm basically TDM, Team Tactical which is all of them on shuffle-Loading multiplayer takes quite a bit longer and sometimes it just randomly drops you-Sensitivity Maximum feels like 5.5-Campaign doesn't have checkpoints and it takes forever for the AI to empty a clip. Oh and the storyline is BORING!!!-To run, you need to press D-pad down or have auto-run which sucks A**.-Because you have to touch the screen to toss a grenade, it's a bit complicated especially if you're trying to bake one-Poor variety in secondary grenade. Just flash & stun-Poor variety in maps and too make it worst, the maps are small. ex: NukeHOUSE. Emphasis on HOUSE.As you can see, the games need a s**tload of improvements. However, I still enjoy playing the game from time to time especially when I'm not home. It's definitely not worth $50 or any thing near that. I paid $20 for my copy and I feel that was a bit much.FYI: If you want the download code for PSP's Cod, buy new

The missions are iffy... They come as challenges rather than the mission style from Black Ops... I was extremely bummed about that. The controls and Gameplay on the other hand aren't too bad. I haven't had a change to give multiplayer a try but from what I can tell it shouldn't be too terribly bad.

Call of Duty is one of the big name games out today. It is known mainly for its multiplayer experience. Call of Duty multiplayer is popular because of its variety of game types, weapons, customization, and relative ease of connecting to a match. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified fails to meet these expectations.Activision announced that they would be creating a Call of Duty on the Vita, exciting many Vita owners. High expectations were set and people waited anxiously for game play footage and information on the game. Many people believed that this would be the game to push Vitas off of the shelves faster. Excitement grew when they announced it would be a Black Ops game. People hoped for a well done Zombies mode with online multiplayer. In addition, people expected a unique story mode like the one present on the Black Ops games for the consoles.High expectations were set for this game. These high expectations soon disappeared when the announced Nihilistic would be developing the game. Nihilistic has recently released a disappointing Resistance game with a mediocre story mode and poor online connectivity. Would the Call of Duty on the Vita become a victim of these fatal flaws as well?The game released the same time as the Black Ops 2 game released on the consoles. Black Ops 2 received very high scores from game critics like IGN. Declassified however scored very poorly.Black Ops Declassified was constructed quickly and it shows in the final product. First off there is no Zombies mode at all. They game does include a hostiles mode which is fun, but only single player. Next, there is no real story mode just a small collection of side missions involving characters from the original Black Ops game. The side missions are fun but brief, and do not provide for a checkpoint system. If you die in a mission you must restart, no matter how far you had progressed in it. This can be very frustrating. The enemies are not very intelligent but can be tricky. Sometimes the will hide in the most awkward spots and kill you before you even locate them. Other times they will shoot at walls. Clearly the focus of this game isn't the campaign.The multiplayer mode could have made up for the lack of content in the campaign. It doesn't. The multiplayer mode includes a decent selection of guns, perks, and killsteraks. Most of the guns are straight from Black ops with a few exceptions like the PP90M1. The guns are rendered in decent graphics and have distinct differences. There are enough perks to satisfy and the key ones are there like "Sleight of Hand". There are no "pro" perks however. The killstreak selection is much smaller than the original Black Ops, but it is enough to reward a good player. There are care packages, spy planes, mortar strikes, advanced spy planes, sentry guns, and an attack helicopter. The game has a few different explosives and grenades including the Bouncing Betty mines. These mines can be very annoying because they are overused. Players will put them all over the place and you will find yourself being killed by them every three seconds, sometimes right when you spawn. The game does have the tomahawk but you can't really aim with it, you can only throw it right down the center of the screen.There are several different multiplayer modes including ones from the Modern Warfare series like "Kill Confirmed" and "Drop Zone". There are no hardcore modes however.The maps are okay, they are scaled down versions of the original Black Ops. For example "Nuketown" became Nukehouse" Overall the multiplayer mode is fun, it even has the option to prestige.There is however one huge problem with the multiplayer mode, it hardly ever connects. When you attempt to play you will find yourself waiting if lobbies for most of the time. Sometimes a game will launch and you will patiently watch the loading screen for well over a minute. Over half of the time this loading screen is all you will see because when it finishes you are greeted with a black screen that escorts you back the the multiplayer home screen. This can be extremely frustrating as it occurs way too frequently. If you do make it in a match, it may be only for the last minute of it. If you get in a lobby the correct time you have the option to vote for the map you want. This is a nice feature but you can rarely use it. It will even launch a game with only two people! One time it launched a game with just me and I sat there and waited only to be taken to a "Draw" match. If they can somehow correct this issue the multiplayer would be quite good and could justify purchasing the game.Black Ops Declassifed has decent graphics, and good multiplayer (when it works). The game however lacks a proper campaign and final touches like a "kill cam" and Zombies. The Hostiles mode is fun but doesn't accommodate for multiplayer which would have made it infinitely better. I chose to give this game 3 stars because despite its numerous flaws it can be quite fun and addicting. I find myself trying to play multiplayer despite the painful waits and random kick outs. I still play it despite the fact that it crashes randomly forcing you to restart the game. It is a fun game, if only they would have polished it more and released a more complete product, more worthy of the price.I would only recommend this product once it decreases in price. Maybe by then the servers would be improved and it would have DLC.Oh and it does include a download voucher for the Call of Duty PSP game. So you can play that on your Vita as well.

nothing like the console game ,

ITS OK

Game was okay, I'm sure it seemed better when it was released with the original vita but it was very boring and tried to implement too many of the new features of the vita like the back touch panel and the touch screen (which are really annoying)

Rating by my 10 year old son: The controls are kind of funny and hard to get used to compared to the PS3 version.

Storyline is good. Gameplay gets repetative. Still it will entertain you for 5-10 hours. Not sure it is worth the money.

My son wasn't sure about this game because he didn't ask for it. Now that he has been playing it for a couple of weeks, he really likes it! I think he enjoys a break from all the killing zombies games.

Online game code that came with the game was used already with a brand new game

Game is most of the time way too hard and doesn't let you chose difficulty level. The character is extremely slow to town around 180, and worse of all once your enemy come very close to attack, it's almost impossible to see where he is and to aim at him.The game could have used some fun sniper mission.And lame of the lame, once you complete the 10 first mission, the 30 left are just variations of the first 10 and in the exact decor / rooms.Unless like I did you got it for less than 8 bucks do not buy it, it really sucks.

nice pick it up and shoot em up game. It gets old quickly . No story line. I would not recommend it for anyone. Its socom on a hand held. (not as good)

I downloaded the demo, and was also excited for the game to come out because it seemed awesome. However, not even an hour into playing this game, it decided to freeze my vita forcing a hard restart. The first tell tale sign was when the sound suddenly stopped. The second was when it froze on a black screen right after i completed a mission or tried to go to the games menu screen. The third and final sign was the busy screen I was brought to when i tried to restart my system. This forced me to have to hold the power button down for about 30 seconds until the reboot menu came up. The gameplay is really great, but its hard to get into the game when you have to restart your system anytime you want to play. There have been many other people that have had this issue, so don't believe the reviews of these other jokers. Zipper Interactive needs to step up and get a patch already! Otherwise this is going to turn into another failed game by them..

Boring after a few minutes.

It's fun to play on short trips on the subway but other than that it gets really repetitive. And the car customization is practically missing. It forces you to play with every car, which is really annoying. Another Annoying thing is trying to find all the cars around the city. on the positive side it does look really good.

This game was billed as the "spiritual successor" to the Burnout series. I can't speak to its value as a NFS game, but as a Burnout Game, it fails. It just seems so much slower, and the cars handle so much clunkier. There are maybe two or three that are manageable, but most of them are just a chore to drive. If you had Burnout for PSP and liked it, chances are you are not going to like this. Burnout on PSP was so fast paced and chaotic, you couldn't help but have fun. This game is the opposite. You can wander around the entire open world looking for fun, but all you will find is another cop or yet another poorly handling car.If boring gameplay is the price we must pay for an open world on a portable device, then close my world, please. Burnout Paradise (PS3) and Burnout Legends (PSP) are both far superior to this game. I hope the NFS fans are at least getting enjoyment out of it.

There is a total lack Of story here, there is none. This is just a super fancy (not even that fancy) arcade racing game. Lots of cars to drive, no customization though. You find a Red Dodge charger with a black strip down the middle, all you can do is change the color of it, white/black, yellow/black and so on, will always have stripe and same body kit. Deffenitly avoide this game.

Hey Buyer,Huff here, listen up. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a game best played on an actual system. I have a PC-copy of this game and decided to get the Vita-version for whenever i am on the go. I have to say, disappointed; two thing sealed the deal and had me put this game away forever...The Controls: though smooth in steering the fact that i am unable to control the amount of acceleration i apply to my auto annoys me very much. you press the 'R' button and its pretty much open throttle from there.Screen Size: boy this kills the game for me. like all the other user have pointed out. EA/Critreon directly port the game from its big consle cousin. you do not miss out on anything excpet the fact your screen size has been crippled a billion fold. picking out regular traffic from the competitors as you race is a major set back. but not only that, there are times you cannot tell the road from a wall :o( OUCH... will make your game extreme tough to play.Buyer, if you are a person that has been playing via big console or PC? do not use ur hard earned cash for this version. We have been spoiled by alot of pretty visuals and gaphics processing. to try and jump from that to Vita version will mostly fustrate you as suppose to extended the fun.On the plus, the game is fun. the game has been directly port so this means they did not cut back on any of the activities that were done on the console-versions. If you are not an individual that had been playing a console-version there is possibly a glimmer of hope for u in regards to enjoying the Vita version. however, if you are coming from the Xbox360/PS3/or PC version there is a 90% chance you will dislike and regret this purchase.Anyway, thanks for reading and i hope this will give even more perspective about this product.

I look for a few things in racing games so that they are playable for a long time. NFS for vita does not have them. I've played most of the franchise all the way from some of the original first games.- restarting/retrying a race is cumbersome, you can not do it from the end of a race (you get thrown straight into free roam), the option is in the menu(s) (depending on which menu you use. If during a race and you restart it still requires a fair amount of time to load the race up again, where you also have to skip the 15/30 second artsy cutscene. It works but certainly is not as fast/fluid as it could be.-Racing against most wanted cars, they turn out to be the easier races, but also the cars are white, which ironically is the most common color of traffic cars. As a result on a screen of this size it is really easy to id a white car, ram it only to realize milliseconds before impact you are ramming a pedestrian (and as a result cut into a crash cutscene).- AI in general is nothing special, I am fairly sure they do that annoying thing all racing games do, never too far behind you, regardless of how perfect your run is.-I run the game in airplane mode, I'm not into the online score stuff (sorry I have no friends...). So maybe I'm missing something but after a race I do not clearly see my current time in comparison to my previous time. There is no sense of individual improvement. The replay value of racing games for me was racing a course only to improve my own time over and over.-UI is not clear what I'm racing for (like a goal time, or what my place is). I would think they ought to align or place these in better locations on the screen, half of the notifications must work great on a desktop or 1080p screen but here some of notifications are just so small you can barely read them (the notifications that 'link' to the car's taillights). On top of this notification displays of a take out and etc. take over so much of the screen... sometimes you just can't see the horizon.- I thought I'd be okay with less cars on the raod, as many people have reported the traffic is very little in this game (typically 4 or less cars aside from you and other racers), but I am not. I'd far rather have MORE cars then better graphics. Drop the graphics give me more of a race through traffic.- this does not impact gameplay, but the cutscene videos are just totally random. Some have just crazy psychedelic filters and others are just ridiculous spinning camera scenes. I'm sure someone worked very hard to make EACH race have it's own 'original' video, but frankly, I don't want the system to have to load a video and as a result take even longer to get me to play the game. Feels like a rush of effort on their part.The graphics are nice, but NOT OMG cool. The driving is okay, but the world is kinda meh and dull. I'll continue playing this, but overall I think it feels like a lot of leftovers from the other products, and too much attention was focused on the wrong things. Simple reconsiderations for the device this was being made for would have dramatically improved the gameplay.

I got this for my son and he says: I ordered this game because everywhere online said if I got it new and not on the PlayStation store it would come with the PSP game "CoD: Roads To Victory" as an additional download code in the box. I got the game and opened the case to found only the Black Ops game. I'm quite dissatisfied with the outcome, as I wouldn't have purchased the game at such a high price if I had known it didn't come with the PSP game. The questions answered even said it would come with it.

This game is not good. Graphics are fine but playability is not very good. Glitch-y at best and down right annoying most of the time. Kill zone Mercenary is so much better.

This game is awful if you want a decent first person shooter on the vita get kill zone mercenary

I was bored out of my mind thinking that this game could fill my cod cravings but no, I don't even want to play the game anymore

The game plays and looks alright but there just isn't anything here. The single player is objectives, not story based. The mulitplayer has too few players to be worth while... if you can find anyone to play with.

No checkpoints and no reason to replay missions. The only fun that is had with this title is in the first 10 minutes. After that you are left with a game is worth more selling on ebay than to keep. This is not cod. It just has the name. Try Killzone Mercs on ps vita. It is a lot better than this which is not saying much but you get the idea.

This game is 5 years old. Do not buy. There is a reason they canceled the sequel.

I honestly bought a Vita for this game. I love Uncharted 1&2 (3 sucks) and I was hoping the Vita version would be just as good. I found it a let down compared to the first two games in the series. Sure, it had it's good moments. Nate's as awesome as ever. But the storyline was like that of Uncharted 3 - boring and it didn't drag you in like the first two. With the first two, they were so interesting I would play for hours without noticing how much time had gone by. With this one, it was more like 'I'm bored with everything else, might as well play this for a bit.' While it does have some interesting new things for the Vita, like charcoal rubbings and picture puzzles, overall I found it a let down.

The storyline is very good and the graphics are exceptional for a portable gaming system. However, I found the touch screen sensitive parts of the game to be inaccurate. I realize that this is new technology, but they still have a ways to go before it is considered perfected.

Edit: Game Breaking Glitch. Reduced my review from 3 to 2 stars. I wanted to go through the game again to try to find more of the collectibles, but because I've already finished the plot collectibles the game wont have me pick them up again, which mean I simply get stuck where I'm standing unable to progress any further. I then have to kill myself, reload, and it will sometimes, let me progress to the next collecable i can't pick up. This happened in the first Chapter!Original review Below:The games not bad, and if i hadn't played the PS3 versions I would probably be nicer. That said, the game feels like a very expensive vita advertisement. The story is OK, nothing special, but does the trick and keeps the game going forward. The problem is all the writing and game play stuff feels like its simply implemented to make sure the Vita new Tech is being used. The end result is a ton of mini games that make what I consider on the PS3 to be a nice mature game, to be dumbed down to quicktime events and little kid puzzles.The Good:*Graphics look really nice.*Voice acting is as good as always*The jumping/climbing fun that is expected is there.Bad:*Vita specific mini games that take you out of the game all the time.*Difficulty Spikes that feel like sloppy planning rather then a challenge.*No real boss fights, and the only two fights that exist are Quicktime events!!!*Rope climbing is designed to use the vita touch back screen but it's wonky, so they also put in normal button as well. end result you just go up and down on the rope for a while.The Blah:*Puzzles: which are more like rub this or line this picture up so it looks nice. Not horrible for a few of them, but you do it for the whole game. it gets a bit repetitive.* The story, if drake and Sulli weren't in the game, I wouldn't have cared for any of them.*The Camera during the climbing parts is stiff, where's the "Oh S***" parts that the PS3 counter parts have.Conclusion:because the Vita is currently lacking in games its worth it for about 20 or so. I do want to conclude that it's fun to see what the Vita can physically do, i just wish it wasn't forced upon you, but rather the natural choice. Heavy Rain a quicktime only game feels right because each action that you do seems like a form of what the characters are actual doing on screen, but these quicktime events feel more like 'look what the vita can do,' rather then having any real purpose.

con man!

Thanks to the dimwit who sent me a used/defective code. Ripoff. 90% of the fun of this game is online trying to beat your friends' scores on missions. Royally displeased. Be careful when ordering.

Purchased this game on 7 July 2015.Received it 8 July 2015. Online Activation Code was "Invalid".Requested a replacement from Amazon, received it 9 July 2015. Again, online Activation Code was "Invalid".After contacting Playstation Network Support, they reported the activation codes expired 31 March 2015.

Online code doesn't work for online play

The Gameplay is quite fun, controls are good. I really enjoyed the demo.However, much like another user mentioned, it crashes my Vita every time I play it. It's been sitting in its case since I bought it, I don't feel like corrupting the file system of my Vita.Lots of other users have experienced the same thing: [...]Was hoping a fix would be issued to fix this, but it's been over 2 weeks now, and nothing. Official word from the developer is "we're looking into it". That's not good enough for me, so I'm returning it for being defective.Don't bother trying to contact Sony either. Their service desk ignored the evidence of multiple users having the same issue, and provided me a bunch of troubleshooting steps for the Vita, with the final step being return my Vita to them for repair.When multiple people are experiencing the same issue, it points at either 1) hardware defect on the Vita or 2) software defect with the game. Since no other games have crashed my Vita, it's pretty Fing apparent that it's the game. Way to ignore basic evidence, morons.

didnt work

Probably the worst investment ever. I had a PSP before and thought that buying this would be better but there are barely any games. The graphics are not as great AT ALL as advertised and it's too pricy for the crap it is.

Game is boring and glitchy. The PS4 revamp is much better. You don't get a rush from speed and the world is glitchy (cars and road disappearing etc) and the graphics are lousy. Skip this one. I give it a star because it has cars...

Unable to down load this game. We feel deceived. This game does not give all information that is required to play it.

I have been a huge NFS fan since the beginning. So far have enjoyed most of the games and thought this would be a good redo of a pretty decent NFS game. Boy was I wrong. This game truly sucks. I would have to say it is probably one of the worst but not the worst. That title goes to NFS:The Run. Needless to say its pretty horrible. I don't honestly know what EA is thinking having Criterion make this game. They are only good at making Burnout and suck at making NFS. Here are my reasons for disliking the game.- No customization at all. Not even a little bit.- Controls are atrocious.- The crash cam thing is really annoying.- The camera bouncing up and down whenever I go over a jump and hit the ground is disorienting and annoying.- No story line. I know some people don't like that in a racer but if I am playing NFS:MW I want a story line like I had in the original.- The graphics are ok but could be better.- The layout of the city is a horrible design and has way to much crap in it.I really wanted to like this game and forced myself to play even though it wasn't enjoyable, thinking I would get use to the controls, but it didn't change. The more I played the more I hated this game. Now I wont even check out Criterion/EA's next NFS game. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone who wants a good NFS game like we have had in the past and I will either be returning this or selling it.

graphics suck im struggling to give it one star i expected much more

Choppy. If you've played the console versions before you will enjoy playing this for only about a week. The online isn't great either.

It's not that fun

NOT ADVENTUROUS, GAME TOO SHORT

Sucks just multiplayer is the only good thing but 4 on 4 ugh it could of been worse I hope they make a new one with better multiplayer and longer campaign. This game was only for the money spenders.

Game doesn't work !!!!!pictures look like imitation - picture on the box isn't the same like the picture inside the box .

Got this today at game stop. after a run and follow this guys for an hour, and lean all the "supper cool things we did with all the supper cool controls on the vita" it cuts to a very long video to give a very long exposition, got board and took the game out going to be returning it tomorrow.Seems the game is just a "look how cool the controls and video on the vita are" demo.

Typing in code for the product and it's tellimg me it's incorrect.

Difficult controls. Way too much going on to learn effectively. After a half an hour of dying over and over during the TUTORIAL because aiming is more or less impossible, this was torn out of my vita and will be going back to Gamestop tomorrow.

I never got my Digital code

it did not work what should i do

Terrible game.
