How do I start or run a gang?

Get respect and then go and point at him and press up.

First of you need some respect and when you have enough it says something like you can now run a so many man army.

You use your gang members by going up to them aiming a gun or something at them and then press up and they will join you and follow you anywhere.

No you can't make your own games.

To start a gang you will need quite a bit of a respect you will know when you can run a gang when at the top left corner, will say ''respect upgraded you can now run a two man gang''.

The more respect you have the more gang members you can recruit. The maximum you can recruit is 7 but that is only when you have 80% or more of themaximum respect you can gain.

You can gain respect by killing police officers, spraying enemy tags, killing enemy gang members, having big muscles, and doing missions. To get a gang member target them with your fist or weapon(when they are facing you) then press the up button and your gang member will come over to you, and if you shoot someone they will shoot that person too.
