this was pretty much it. Once you clear the section of town you assassinate the objective character. Then move on to new town and new section of town then repeat.
While GTA has a similiar number of quest types they are broken up by different areas, different quest givers the people have names.... this breaks the monotony.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
