Beach Head 2000

This game puts you right in the middle of the action. Really. The sound effects and graphics are incredible. I just bought a new computer and I've spent up to 8 hours or more playing this and Beachead 2002. If you want to have fun and a challange, this game is definitely for you. One drawback or negative and it's a big one... The turret or machine gun continually moves and it's annoying as hell... If you try to take aim on an oncoming tank, the barrel continues to move and you have to battle the movement continuously... Aside from that, it's a fantastic amount of fun!

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.

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!!!!!

im in the military, and sometimes i dream of what it would be like to be on a beach head all alone, facing down a never ending enemy. all you can do is pull the trigger and hope you stall their siege. this game is worth 10 bucks, i would even buy it for 20. if you ever feel like taking on a whole army and its heavy support of apaches, tanks, fighter jets, b-52s, APCs, landing craft complete with a whole platoon, pick this up. TRUST ME you wont regret it.........

an enjoyable waste of time

This game has no recognizable plot, but its very fun to play. It resembles some of the classic "shoot down an entire army with one guy" games of old. Its a nice way to waste time for a very cheap price.

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.

Great Mindless Shooter, Ahhhhhh...

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 is a cool game where you shoot falling object to get ammo and have good controlls (see my review for beach head 2002) but this gets tiring REALLY fast. I mean fast. The difference between the(inflinate)levels are the # of men no more weapons of bonuses or change or scenery all the same. This gets boring FAST.youll be bored by the time you finish loking at the box! Its all the same thing. Even if you like games like these when your REALLY bored you may pop this in for a 2 minute break(it beats homework)but thats about it. Well hope this told you something and was helpfull.

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.

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.
