Compared to San Andreas the dating is weak, yes they (IV girlfriends) have lunatic personalities but they are too easy you can sleep with them relatively quickly once you have their phone #. The places to take dates are better and the girls individual critiques of nikos' outfits are funny (the clothing choices are slim). I dated Alex, Carmen, Kiki, Kate, and mellisa. Saints Row should be very interesting from the dating perspective and the car customizations are off the hook! I haven't heard how the female character is going to fit into the story but I can't wait for it to come out. I just hope that you can build your bank account up the same way as in the 1st SR ( just capture an armored car, save it in your garage then blow it up at will)
