Kicking enemies in Silent Hill 2 for PS2?

Question

For some reason none of the FAQs/Walkthroughs (game manual included) I searched through had an explanation on how to "kick" enemies, which is apparently the best way to finish them off, even though they explain how to do all of the other basics. How do you know when an enemy is kick-able and how do you kick it?

Answer 1

i think it's the action button. I'm not really sure cause i played it in 2003 or something.

Answer 2

well, according to the guide, it says you press X.  I would have thought that you'd need to press R2 like in the other games, but the guide doesn't mention that.  I haven't played the game in a while, so I can't quite remember.  usually, when you're pressing the R2 button and the enemy is on the ground and you press the X button, the character does it on their own.  but the guide just says to press X.  give them both a try and see if you can get it.  sorry I can't be of more help.

Answer 5

when the enemy,let say the Straightjacket is down on his knees after you hit him with the wood plank,stand your character in front of the enemy.DO NOT move him.then press X.the key is to make your character in stand still.this finishing move in Silent Hill 2 is much easier compared to Silent Hill Origins,where you have to be in exact position.
