After the good word-of-mouth and finding out a shop down the street got it in-stock today (pretty early import for Osaka), I decided to pick it up and I'm pretty glad I did. I just threw down over an hour online and had a really fun time. I really suck, though.
I made a video for my YouTube channel (check it out here: http://youtu.be/3Oto1YkZD1U ) with some online gameplay. Had some crazy shit happening in the match at about 11:00 in (check out Air Jesus) but other than that match and me being horrible at the game, it seems to run well (even playing world-wide, multiplayer is smooth and I barely experienced any lag).
I'm also really glad the game supports custom soundtracks (as most do of course) as it is perfect for a game like this.

5 ... lol
Holy shit. I'm going to pass on this game. No way I'm spending $50 for just 5 maps. Will wait until I can get this game for $20.
I could be wrong.. the OT says 6.. I don´t know if that is better..?

Game looks surprisingly good, so it's a shame that there's no way in hell I'll pay more than $25 for such a tiny amount of content.
Funny, at first it looked like it would suck, now the problem is that there there isn't enough of it.

People keep harping on the 5-6 for MP... is this the same case for the missions?
Are the maps for the missions also that limited?

Being able to do private matches from the Party app, now there's some good news.
So far all the maps I've tried for hostiles, time trials and operations are unique. Haven't seen all of them though.

It might make more sense when you consider that review copies were not sent out for the console versions either. Reviewers were taken to a special hosted event. Obviously Activision didn't give enough of a shit to do that for Vita, so here we are.
5 certainly is disappointing. 8 would have been just right, for me.
It is 6. Not 5. Don't people read the OP any more?
Considering how unfairly most outlets review Vita games, can you really blame them for not giving everyone review copies?
Vita game reviews have really been bullshit so far. I mostly ignore them. Would have missed out on a lot of great games if I listened to them.

that was a very mature and intelligent post
they were definitely given console copies, just not likely before the review event.
That's the point. They won't be mature or serious about the review and they haven't been for just about all Vita game reviews.
Wow really?

I agree with your general point but in the case of this game I'm not sure it would matter what system it's on. I certainly haven't seen anything that makes me want to blindly purchase this game so the lack of reviews just pushes me even farther away from buying it.

I was pointing out how immature and unintelligent your view point of the matter is, I get what you were trying to say
Sorry I usually don't post like that but it's just a bit frustrating sometimes :/

pff, Battlefield Bad Company 1:s campaign is amazing! (maybe also Blops2 which actually might be good by reviews)

Right, I'm going to pick this up after work. £34.99, little cheaper than I expected - and with a bit of store credit...
Only 6 maps, and nice short single-player levels. Sounds ideal for a new dad to play on the crapper while hiding from his wife and baby boy.

Exactly. Easily get done with 2 missions on the crapper. Crazy how much time I spend in the toilet daily after being a dad. Vitadads!!!!!!!

So the single player portion can be beaten over three bowl movements?

It is £40 now, they probably did a pricing mistake to begin with and increased the price.
Nope, but five instead. There are 10 single player missions.

Gojng from what Eurogamer said (their review is going to be a few days late as they skipped the event due to their sudden attack of ethics) and from the disclaimer on Polygon's review:
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was reviewed on Xbox 360 debug units primarily at an event held by Activision and Treyarch in Carlsbad, Calif. between October 22nd and October 24th."
But I guess that was a few weeks ago so it is probably as Robertto said and they received copies after that.

If this was a full blown console game I would evaluate it more critically. I would probably even say it is mediocre.
But since it is on a handheld, and it is the best handheld FPS thus far, I get that same feeling like back when I was playing some really old school FPS game like quake1. It literally has no equal or peer that comes even close on it's platform. So it is the "best game evar" just by default.

Best video I have found on it

Multiplayer looks like a lot of fun

"no sorry?"
6 multiplayer maps?
lololololol
If your gonna make the game tailored for portable play thats cool, and the right mentality
so cut the levels up into small bits and focus on shorter play sessions and smaller maps
but in return you need to up the amount of content to make replaying the same modes and stuff more bearable
especially for 50 bucks
last time i payed more than the standard rate for a vita game (uncharted) i got burned
wont do it again, and even if this is better than Resistance BS (which i liked) its not worth 50, no way
lololololol

I seen you post that earlier, was hoping it was a pricing mistake that had since been rectified :-(

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
It just goes to show how bad Battlefield 3 was: it made me forget all about BC1.
BC1 had one of the better single-players this generation in that there was (SHOCK HORROR!) no corridor! The downside being that it just felt like sometimes there was a lack of focus. I wish they would expand on this concept. As in, take the wide open space and make me feel like a soldier in an actual battle with hundreds of soldiers, tanks, etc instead of just feeling like your archetypal one-man-army superman.

The more I read about it, the more I'm interested, but I'm probably gonna skip it due to principle of... don't know, just seems like paying money for it is just letting kotick stick it up your ass... and finish in 10 seconds.
I bought my fair share of vita games, so I don't feel particularly guilty about it

I find it funny that most of those user reviews, only have one review and that's Declassified.
Since when Meta user reviews are trustworthy?
Some people really want to like stuff!
