Is Bioshock scary ?

I played the demo and I found it not scary at all (and I am easilly scared).

I hear people saying that they get scared because of the enemys that are always appearing from behind, I don't know about that because those parts aren't in the demo.

The face of the enemys aren´t scary, they are just full of blood.

When I finished the demo I saw that little video showing all the cool stuff about Bioshock and laughed when that women on fire jumped to the water and our character threw electricity to the water when shewas still in mid air.

Actually, I alsolaughedwhen they were hitting those electric wires.

So here is my question, is Bioshock scary? Because from what I saw, it has funny moments in it.

Scary video games NEVER scare me. FEAR was a joke as far as scariness goes. But BioShock was pretty freaky IMO. It wasn't so much the faces or the blood.....it was the lighting and the way things moved in and out of shadows.......the way you would hear things in the same room as you, spin around, and try to figure out where they were. Those splicers that crawled on the ceilign were pretty freaky too. I dunno if I ever actualy jumped at a noise but I played that whole game on edge, almost sweating.

Which I think goes to showhow great the atmosphere is and the attentionthe designers paid to the detail of the environment. There wasn't any ONE thing scaryor freaky. The whole setup was.

Good game.

reading this makes me want to go play bioshock in the dark tonight. thanks everyone :-)

bioshock made me jump a couple times but it made me play the entire game on the edge of my seat. one part i liked was i looked down at a table to pick up stuff, look up and just see the shadow of someone behind me against the wall. definately gave me the chills for a sec.

great stuff!

Scary, no. Atmospheric, yes.

but not as scary as say, oprah's va-jay-jayctfvyrsgurbnorn

It has its moments. But, unlike most horror games you can actually hear your enemies before you see them, so it dampens the fear a lot. They will be 'mumbling' stuff before you even get close to them. The scariest part is when you are in the dentists room....thats one part i'll never forget.mtxero28

What's so bad about the dentist's room? All it is is just tennis balls and tennis rackets and a tennis ball-launching machine. Are you talking about the surgeon's room? Cause my friend got freaked out when he was doing that stuff with the lady. I laughed because he was like, "An intruder? He's ugly. Ugly! UGLY!" Teehee!

i find parts of the game are definetely creepy, mostly due to the setting of the game and all the freaks stuck down there

sick game btw...and yes it does have funny molments too

No, not at all. I was actually very nervous about getting it because I too am VERY easily scarred. But thankfully it was not a least bit scary, just jumpy sometimes, and turned out to be one of the best games I've ever played.

The Orange Box on the other hand.....I thought I could play through Half-Life 2 no problem but it turned out to be too scarry for that I had to stop playing. Go figure :(

Well the first time i played it and the part when u go inside arapture building i got freaked out by the spider splicer and it was dark and i dont know where to go i thought it was stalking me cause the splicer keeps screaming

I think it's alot more freaky then scary. The level with the actor guy, was one of the freakiest I've ever seen in a game.dru26

Not really scary, but creepy.
