Whereas Kane would kill his foes by pushing his dagger into their head when attacking from behind, Lynch would simply break his foe's neck. Whereas Kane will usually knock his opponment to the ground before quickly stabbing his push dagger into their throats, Lynch would repeatedly beat his opponements with his fists, elbows, knees, occasional headbuts or grab them by the waist and throw them to the ground to pummel on their face, sometimes ending his kill by stomping his foot in the kneck of a already beaten man. Lynch's melee executions work the same way as when playing as Kane, except of course that the executions themselves are very different. It doesn't change the gameplay much, but it's still considered as a nice bonus addition for playing as Lynch. Of course, his 'hatred' could have generated from the guilt he has of killing his wife Without Even Knowing It. Or his general hatred towards women, as shown in the way he 'handled' Yoko and how, even when a police woman will beg for mercy, saying she has a baby daughter, Lynch will still shoot at her.

Judging from Lynch's past, it is quite possible that these pig headed women are a mannifestation of his anger and/or regret of killing his own wife. It's worth pointing out that the Pig headed cops only happens on female officers. The psychotic fear vision will then activate, the screen will tremble, the sound of a ring tone and deep breathing can be heard in the background, the color of the screen washed out to the point of being near black and white, civilian NPCs will look like police officers, which allows Lynch to melee execute them (normally you cannot melee execute civilians, but since Lynch sees them as a threat, he can now) and occasionally, some of these 'cops' will have a Pig head. While the control remains the same as when playing as Kane, playing as Lynch offers the ability to trigger his 'psychotic' fear filter, with the exception of a couple of sequences the game will trigger this filter against the player's action (mainly during Withdrawal and Tokyo Streets), the psychotic fear vision can be activated by the player during any chapter (with the exception of Impact) by chaining three or four of Lynch's brutal kills, you know when you've executed a brutal kill when the screen 'glitches' for a second along with the sound effect of a roaring tiger, this is usually done when killing enemies with melee executions or shooting enemies in the head at close range with a shotgun. 1.7 Fan Theories and useless explanations.1.6 Additional Enemies and Seperating Players.The Japanese release is the least censored version.
