I really wanted to like this game. The story and concept was very original. Unfortunately, the game suffers from one of the most unacceptable flaws a stealth game can have: wonky controls. I've played some of the most punishing stealth games from Death to Spies to The Saboteur, and I don't mind a stealth game with brutal difficulty. But even on the easiest level, CitD makes it difficult to perform even the most basic tasks, like walking up a flight of stairs. Both mouse and keyboard controls are plagued by this problem. Remapping some keys and splitting some functions would help, but mostly it's a question of visibility cones and control issues. You actually have a better chance running through some areas pell mell than you do sneaking properly through an area in disguise. Hopefully future patches will address these issues and make the game what it could be, but until then better to give this one a pass.
Still one of the best RTS games around. Completely underrated.
