Six Months Worth Of Crazy Just Cause 2 Stats

It’s been six months since Avalanche Studios unleashed the open-world action extravaganza that is Just Cause 2. And in that time, players have hit a number of staggering milestones. Like one guy who has clocked in 1,100 hours of game time (that’s 45 days of continuous play!), or the fact that players have driven the equivalent of traveling from the Earth to Mars three times. How do I know this? A handy little infograph just landed in my inbox that details a slew of these kinds of gameplay achievements. Get your "Whoa!" hats on, and check out these stats:

Game Time:

• In the six months since release, players of Just Cause 2 have racked up a total game time of 26,118,470 hours. This is equal to around 1.1 million days of play time…Just a little under 3,000 years!
