Or is this game extra hard.

I have gone back to casual with it something I have not done in years.

OK I accept it is just a blood fest game with no strategy involved whatsoever.

But I am having serious problems getting through parts of it.

I consider myself a OK gamer but this is hard.

Anyone else feel the same?

Is Strangehold that game with Chow Yun Fat or something?

^^^Yes

Personally I think the game is a huge Max Payne knockoff, though I actually really enjoyed it for that reason. It is a tricky game though and comes with quite a bit of trial and error.

the game was a huge dissapointment for me. I hoped for a Max Payne rip-off, but IMO it was very mediocre.
It was the first game I tried on my 360 (in September 2007) and after 3 levels I stopped and never came back playing it

I thought the game was ok, it was kinda easy too although I still haven't finished it.
