Meta critic has more people who own it saying it's awesome. There are always negative people on the otherside of the coin you can just never please. Its a handheld but from what I read this game rocks for an online on the go COD game. I think thats all that matters. For instance Uncharted on the console is incredible on the handheld it holds its own and is a pleasant suprise. Thats what people are saying about COD DECLASSIFIED. Bad reviews are people who think its going to be just like the COD games of consoles. It's a portable device and its made for that on the go gamer just like uncharted wwas made.
