Metro 2033...will i s**t myself?

well, i dont play a lot of survival horror games(just silent hill downpour and alan wake) but i do watch a lot of horror movies....

people told me metro was pretty damn scary and i was likely to ....well....s**t

so i wanna know just how scary it is before i take it on

Not scary but great atmosphere, well worth playing.kieran88

This.

It's a shooter with good atmosphere, and some moderately creepy settings/enemies. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "horror" game.

Even a 5 year old kid wouldn't be scared by Metro 2033. Its a great game, but there's certainly something wrong with the guy who told you its scary.

The game's not really scary but it has an eerie atmoshpere.

It was a little creepy sometimes, but not sleepless nights 'OMG' kind of creepy.

It's a little creepy in some levels like the ghosts or the librarians and only if you have headphones on. Otherwise it's not scary at all

Nah, when I got to the level where I was on the surface, going through the old buildings, I thought the game was going to take the Stalker approach but eventually the pace builds up afterwards. Creepy that the fact that you would be alone in dark rooms in certain missions? Yes. Scary? No.

i was avoiding metro 2033 for a similar reason. I'm such a chicken. Same reason why I avoided the STALKER series for so long. But then I played and fell in love with STALKER... but I still wouldn't play it at certain times of day :P

The only thing scary about Metro 2033 is the minimum requirements to run at full detail.

I also thought the gun sounds were really poor, lacked any impact.

It's creepy, but it's not scary. You won't be scared nor frigtened, but you will be on your toes.

well...is it atleast scarier (by that i mean surprises a lot) than the dead space duology or resident evil?

this is just for an opinion ..i will be playing metro now anyway

It is not scary, it CAN be eerie and stressful (the latter people often mistake for scary)

It is never really scary, but skulking outside in the hars frozen corpse of the city, picking supplies of frozen corpses, while constantly watching for the somewhat agressive wildlife IS somewhat tense, watching the air supply, listening to the uneven breathing, and watching the frost on the visor is not exactly calming, but scary it is not.

Part of the reason why Metro is not (and can not) be scary is due to the fact that you have a gun, you kill things, ANYTHING really. Not much to be afraid of when you can simply blow it away you know?

But it IS mystical, eerie and somewhat desolate from time to time. There is One section on an abandoned railway tunnel that really branches into the supernatural, but even that is far more sad then it is scary.

The atmosphere in general is pretty creepy, but there really isn't a lot of moments that will make you jump from your seat. It's definitely a fun game to play at night with headphones.

It's more depressing rather than scary
