holy crap, Dead Rising is a huge disappointment
my friend bought it yesterday and we were playing it, and damn, i thought this game was supposed to be amazing. The really stupid problems ruin everything (who cares about side quests and the storyline when i can't read anything onscreen!?!); the boss battles are frustrating as hell; and, althogh everyone claims that bashing zombies makes up for it, combat is rather slow and predictable. I was using everything as a weapon back in 2000 with Dynamite Cop, and you were fighting pirates... and you can actually bring a friend.
Please tell me it gets better. We spent about 2 hours yesterday playing, and he just got past Carlito when i had to go.
also, on the subject of Medieval Times, kick ass place. The ribs there are amazing. I remember when i went on a field trip in 2nd or 3rd grade, and this little bitchy kid wouldn't eat his food until someone gave him a fork and knife. Also, my knight won both times i went. And one time it was a shut out, so i got to see him fight the black knight.
