I just picked this up for a friend and it's pretty darn fun. Just a complete rip-off of GTA with better graphics but still a fun game.
Two problems tho:
First, isn't there a way to play a female character?
Second, what's up with the monye you earn daily? We've done enough missions so that the money pre day should be well in excess of $5000 but the most it ever has, even after several in game days, is $2000. Is there a max limit? If so what the fuck? One mission specifically gives over 3000 a day once you complete it.

First, sadly no.
Ah, hells. The advertisments mislead me. I was really looking forward to playing as a ridiculously overweight black woman what whupped ass.
The amount of money the safe can contain grows depending on how many gangs you've defeated I think. To get as much as possible you just have to keep going to collect money all of the time.
Also, on the subject of the game, I loved it. I preferred it to most of the GTAs (apart from GTA:London). I think it's a better game.
The writing is awful, but the mechanics are better than GTA in a lot of, if not most, ways. I am anticipating the sequel and hoping GTA picks up on the things this did well.
Watching a purple-haired, goatee-wearing kid with no muscle mass essentially take on a city always brought a smile to my face, so for that I can forgive this game any flaws. It's a GTA clone that feels more fun to me than Vice City.
And yeah, if you like GTA without the humour than this is a pretty fun game.
I'd like to stress that the mechanics make up for the lack of humor/story. I enjoy the actual gameplay better than any GTA game I've played. Aiming and shooting is fantastic, the pathfinder for the minimap is incredibly useful, and some of the minigames are just a blast. (Especially insurance fraud)
I wasn't too thrilled with this game. I mean, it was decent fun at the time of purchase, but I don't think it's going to see the inside of my 360 ever again. However, the insurance fraud missions are great. Every game should have a "instant-limp" button at this point. I had a lot of juvenile laughs over that feature, and I'm not ashamed of it.
I really enjoyed Saints Row. I think the best part of the game is the ability to start a mission at any time of the day, unlike GTA. Another nice feature is the option to restart the mission so you don't have to waste time driving back to a start point if you fail. The HUD is actually really well done too.
It did so many little things better than GTA, like, I don't know, the gunplay :P That being said, I also loved what they did with some of the online modes. Despite the stupid name, Blinged Out Ride is possibly some of the biggest fun I've had with a group of friends online ever. Four people in the car, tearing around the streets trying to keep your car safe, yet quickly get it from one garage to another is just crazy.

Chin up. The sequel (due out this year) will give you the opportunity to play as a man or a woman.
Re: money, you get more daily alottments in accordance with the amount of territory you take over if I remember correctly. Might also have to do with the crib you have at the moment, too. I thought I remember there being more money/day in the last crib I unlocked. It's been a while, though.
Yeah, we found out it the safe holds more as you take over more gangs. I like that it slows the tide of money as you REALLY need it in this game unlike GTA where you have a ridiculous amount of it all the time.
Sadly, Respect doesn't work that way. We have like 36 or so bars of it.
Otherwise it's a fun game. I'm shocked how much of a clone of GTA it is tho. It's a ridiculoius understatement to even use "clone".
It's not a bad way to waste time. I killed off two gangs in single player, but then I realized all I really liked doing was getting together all my homies and shooting shit. You can have some bigass gunfights in this game, its good for that.
The explosions are pretty too.
I liked it, but it's no GTA.

The difference between this game and GTA is that GTA does not take itself seriously. Saint's Row on the other hand tries to.

Second, I've got no clue.
I just beat the story as fast as I could and then used cheats so I didn't have to worry about money.

Still a pretty cool game though, if you can get by the... amusing... script.
try it online if you want real lulz
Has a ton of time sink achievements as well if you are in to that sort of thing.
Xbox Live - Doctor Xedd
Gametap - RIbar77
I hope the answer is "very" but I'm guessing that won't be the case...
SERIOUS BUSINESS
THIS GAME IS FULL OF THEM
SO WE SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT IT!!!im telling
Imagine Crackdown without any superpowers or high-tech weaponry/gadgetry/vehicles, and where you do jobs FOR the gangs instead of against them.
And yeah, if you like GTA without the humour than this is a pretty fun game.

The writing is deliciously bad. "Bullets still kill motherfuckers, right?"

Great game IMHO

Though I nearly pissed in my pants when you character said some random BS the first time.
"That bitch got Herpes!'
or something to that effect.

Flying model airplanes in San Andreas completely broke immersion for me and I never got past that stupid mission.
HO SNATCH
My friend finished the last one last night and got the pimp outfit and the pimp cane shotgun. Hilariosity.
