Rating: - 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.

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.

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!

I work in quality assurance (AKA: Testing) for a video card company. As a result, I play lots and lots of games. When I came across Beachhead 2000 here on amazon and saw that it had 4 stars, I almost swallowed my tongue.
Now you don't have to take my word for this. Just about all the PC Game magazines out there had a unanimous verdict on this game. Which pretty much boiled down to "um... this sucks."
The game is completely arcade styled. This is not a bad thing on its own. However the bad guys you have to shoot down stay pretty much the same throughout the entire game... just more of them moving faster. Anyone who claims that this is in any way representative of any conflict, anywhere - on a beach, in the air or on a city street should seek medical attention immediately.
While ($) does seem like a great price for software, keep in mind that the old saying "You get what you pay for" is not only true... but at ($)you are STILL being overcharged for what this pile of digital doodoo has to offer.
You want your moneys worth for ($)? Shop around for a copy of "Half-Life". The game as it comes is worth many times the price and once your done with the game that comes in the box, you can download a wide variety of add-on material that gets you a whole new game. Did I mention you can download all these add-ons FOR FREE?
That really is about it. Run, don't walk, away from this product... save yourself.
