Need a break from puzzle solving/plot unraveling/field marshaling, but are bored with solitare and Pacman? lol
WARNING- in spite of the box cover, you are the GERMANS defending the NORMANDY beachhead from those blasted AMERICANS... very disturbing (and fascinating) from a psychological standpoint- being an American, it was fascinating jumping into the head of a Kraut having to defend the beach from the overwhelming dogfaces... but it was quite disturbing having to shoot at my own!

This game is horrible.

I came across Beach Head 2000 and decided to give it a shot, wanting a diversion from writing code. Unfortunately, it isn't anything like the five star reviewers suggest.

This game would be perfect for children (who aren't technically sophisticated) to keep them occupied for about half a day (maybe more for children that are "special"). After that, it's more an exercise in repetition than entertainment. Another plus is that the graphics are mediocre, so no expensive graphics card (or fast CPU) is required. Adults will be bored within 30 minutes if even that long.

So, I have to agree with the one star reviewers on this one. The game is reminiscent of the arcade games in the 80's, where you do the same thing again, and again, only faster. It gets boring quickly.

If you run out of ammunition (and you will), you can't do anything except wait to be killed.

It is a one star game, but I gave it two stars because grandparents can use it to distract their grandchildren for an hour or two, on an underpowered PC.

Beach Head (And the point of this game is...)

There is absolutley no point to this game! Alls you do is man guns on a beach and shoot at endless numbers of enemies! BORING! The game is very repetetive and boring. There are only 3 guns: 2 machine gun like things, a big cannon (which only has like 3 rounds of ammo each new level), and a stupid pistol with 7 rounds, and no extra clip to reload. The graphics are cartoony as well as the violence. There is blood, but not enough. This game was rushed to the market. It could have been alot better. Personally, i dont like this game. It has no story line, bad graphics, and only 3 weapons. This is a good game for people who like to play mindless shooters. If you want a game with a good story line like Red Faction or Half-Life, dont look here. Also, dont buy the sequal to this game, Beach head 2002, because it [stinks] just as much. -Patrick

Man or mouse?

This is a great game.Put yourself in the middle of the action with your 50 caliber and cannon.This game just keeps going. Trucks deploy hundreds of men. Tanks put a constant fire on you until you wipe them out.So face it. Eat it. Liveit.

Mindless fun

I agree with most of the other reviewers. The game is fun but does get repetitive since you never leave your pill box looking over the beach. Since I bought my copy at the dollar store, I feel I got my money's worth.

A very good game for those that won't pick it apart

Simply put: this game isn't meant for those who are used to, say, Diablo 2, Deus Ex, and other extremely deep games. This has an idea that shouldn't go over-looked: but it was designed for special little groups of war-buffs and action-game-lovers, because those are the kind of people who don't care about going through 100 levels to see if they can break their old score record. I personally enjoyed a game where it only took 5 seconds to load and then theres action right there where you can play it. A great game, for those who can appreciate mindless action of blowing enemy soldiers and tanks away.

One Fantastic Game

This is a fantastic game with increasingly difficult levels. It is not a simple shoot em up game but is one that takes strategy and thinking. Unlike Allied Assault or Return to Wolfenstein, one does not have to play and play and play to finally win against the computer. Thus the one thing that is positive is the controls are easily learned. There may be those who think they have to have a game in which one has to go find a "banana" or some "blue key" for it to be a good game and that is ok, but when you want something that will relieve stress rather than build stress such is the game as Beach Head 2000. The Graphics are great sure they don't change but alas the title Beach Head 2000. It is truly you against the computer and a game you can win but come back to later and lose against. It is a fun game that one can well have fun with. Well done!!!!!

This game is very stupid. Beach Head 2000 is an incredibly big waste of time and money. Dont buy it. In this game you defend your beachhead by all possible means. Every level is the same, witht just a few more enemies. although the AI is good, after the first day you play it, its like "been there, done that." im warning u, dont buy this game.The cover may look cool, but the gamplay is incredibly boring and repetitive. DONT BUY IT.
