    exactly.
    ive just finished it and it took 22 days of total playing time.
    id does get a bit of a pain having to travel back and forwards but as whizzo said the quickest way is to use the waterways or the busses.
    also dont forget to use the map as it comes in quite usefull at times.

    The missions don't take long. You know there's a bus station right out of Pala right? Take the bus to the mission and finish it. Then take the bus right back to Pala. I can finish a mission in 5 minutes.

    oh, those things are absolutely useless. great for picturesque shots to showcase the game's engine, but otherwise useless.

    You have to use the hang gliders to get to certain diamond cases. 85% and you didn't know that?! :spinny:

    I've found alot of cases with 3 diamonds in them too. Most, if not all, of the ones which you have to get by hang glider contain 3 diamonds. And then you can buy more weapons and upgrades :) :) :)
