Silent Hill 2 tips and tricks

Here are some handy tips and tricks for Silent Hill 2 :

• Toggle the 'Button Icon' option in the 'Interaction Icon Visibility' and Traversal Icon Visibility' parts of the 'Gameplay' settings - This makes it easier to spot items and surfaces you can jump over.
• Combine gun and melee combat - You can conserve ammo by using your melee weapon to hit enemies while they're staggered after getting shot. Remember to try and aim for the head while shooting for quick takedowns, unless you want to...
• Target legs to stagger enemies - You can also stagger enemies by shooting their legs, which can help line-up a quick melee attack (or allow you to run away).

• You can sneak up on some enemies - You can kill some enemies like the Bubble Head Nurses in Brookhaven Hospital a lot quicker by hitting them with a melee weapon while their back is turned to you. Just keep in mind that this doesn't really work for Mannequin enemies, as they tend to wait in ambush for you.
• Follow James' head - He turns his head when there is an item of interest nearby, letting you know if you've missed a key item or resource while searching a room.
• Remember to double tap - Take some sage advice from Zombieland and bash the enemies while they're on the ground to make sure they're really dead. Some will come back regardless of how many you times you hit them, but not right away.
• Smash all of the glass - Some lovely resources like ammo and health are often hidden inside cars, shops, and cabinets, so make sure you're smashing the glass and having a peek inside if you want some extra help.

Good luck in Silent Hill 2! We're sure everything will be fine...
