No, it's definitely not scary. It can be violent (lots of blood splattering everywhere) and intense (100 zombies sprinting at you) but not scary like zombies jumping out of corner just to give you a fright.
It's just a FPS where you kill zombies. At first I thought it was stupid and didn't understand it but once I got the hang of it, it was and still is the best fun I've had this generation.
Definitely check it out, this game gets nothing but praise from people...
