As the title says, how scary is dead space? Has anyone not been able to finish it? The game looks like a lot of fun but I'm not sure I want to play a game that is really scary. Thanks for your input

It depends on the player really. Myself i'm hardly scared by videogames but dead space have its ''woah'' moment. Scary or not its a great game that you should get.

Its creepy scary. Not really jumpy scary cause you expect things to jump out at you but the sound effects had me kinda creeped out...

It's not SCARY its just creepy.. like some odd parts in there similar to bioshock creepy (if you've played it) its a really great game though. If you want a scary game get SH: HOMECOMING.

The game is scary in the first few chapters, after that you kind of anticipate the game and you can tell when there will be enemies jumping on you etc. Should have been more variaty when it comes to the scary moments.

it's not scary at all. it's grisly and atmospheric, but just about anyone can brave through it. the buttload of firepower you'll get will pretty much drag down the scares.

I got scared a few times and the atmosphere really gives you the creeps but it was worth it. I'm sure you won't regret playing it.

Yeah bioshock is probably the best way to compare it. it has creepy noises, but you get used to them and you start to anticipate things.

It depends on how easily you get scared. For me, it wasn't too scary.

Its not that scary, it has its jump moments and it keeps you tense throughout, but I don't think you would ever be scared into quitting. Its definitely one of the better actual horror experiences in the last decade.

Friend said it wasn't scary at all and he doesn't watch a whole too many horror movies (although has seen his fair share).

Its honestly the scariest game ever made. I have never been scared of any game, ive played Resident evils, silent hill, fear many other horror games and none of them scared me in the least. But deadspace... ohhhh man that scared the **** out of me at so many moments in the game. U turn the console off and ur heart is pounding so hard haha. good stuff.

I'm a total coward when it comes to scary games and this game is just slightly scary so far at least I'm on chapter 4. Most of the time you will know when something will happen but I was always tensed up when playing it. Although a lot of the scares are obvious you stare down a corridor and think to yourself "When I turn there will be an enemy" but it still makes me jump especially when using an elevator their scare always freaks me out.

I thought it was atmospheric and creepy but not scary. It overall depends on the person though, I don't really get scared in games anymore.

Dead Space made me jump more times than any movie I've seen and I've seen a lot(granted I was playing on a HDTV with a good sourround sound stereo system with the volume on high). It's definately the scariest and creepies game I've played and is so far my personal favorite game on a next gen system.

Honestly? I got a little scared, and I'm not a wimp. I love the horror genre in all of its forms (movies, books, games, etc.), and it made me jump and scream a lot more than I'd anticipated. It's a hell of a fun game, though. I loved it.

Wow, what's your problem? :|

wow, whats your goal? :|

to exacerbate the "problem'?

just "report abuse" and be done with it

NEVER have i seen a "whats your problem" remake not be followed by an argument (like this for instance)

I can't say it's "scary".

Just makes you jump:

Was walking down a hallway, lights flicker, and to my suprise an enemy appears and charges towards me, lights flicker, it's behind me!

When you've cut of something's legs, you expect it to think "Hmmm, mabye if I stay down I won't get pwned" but instead knaws at your ankles.

Mainly things just jumping out at you. My gf and I played it and we only jumped if something we thought was dead tried to give Clarke a lovebite.

It's not that bad.It has a superb creepy atmosphere though. It's not nearly as scary as the first Condemned.

I mean, whats scarier? running/hiding from a zombie thats hunting you and you have nothing to defent yourself with, or blowing its head of at first sight with modern hi-tech weapons??
