Does dead space get scarier as it progresses?

I just started playing the game, and I just finished chapter 3, or whatever you wanna call it. Does the game get any scarier as it progresses?

I never really found it scary, just fun. By the second half of the game you are so powerful that you just mow down enemies as they come at you with ease

I cant even pass chapter 1 XD, I'm too scared!

**** i thought it was scary and i'v done a tour in Iraq and two in afghan! the ambiance is just amazing its the real monster of the game, the creatures dont scare me but when the music tenses up and the lights go out and you hear shuffling, thats what gets my hair standing

The most honest answer I can give is this...

At the beginning it was scarier .. There were more parts that kinda creeped you out.

In the middle, it was a little less scarier, there were still a few parts that were kinda good...

Towards the end, it was a little less scarier, but there were still a few creepy parts and some wow parts..

But it is noticably more creepy of a game at the beginning of it... more mystery... Its one of the things humans fear most, the unknown.

Well thanks for everyones inputs. What about Dead Space 2? Any opinions? I'm looking into it now.

It's not scary as such, it's tense, tense because things jump out all over the place. Having said that it highly depends on what difficulty setting you have it on. If for instance you have it on easy then there is zero tension whatsoever as you are never going to get killed. If you have it on a high difficulty setting, then you will be tense as if you aren't tense and alert you will die.

The only part of the game that scared me was that 'regenerator' monster you had to freeze. Reminded me kind of like RE: nemesis with him chasing you lol.

I was scared a lot playing this game, thats because I played with only the laser cutter and was constantly running out of ammo or needed to get intant kills.
