Beach Head 2002

While my rating for this game is fairly low, the game certainly has some value. It’s a game some people I know would really get a kick out of, and there must be those who liked this series. This is the second one after all. It’s a great game to boot up and squeeze off a few rounds during your lunch break. Yet, I’d rather spend my few minutes of spare time playing a puzzle game or doing a crossword. So, there is my review in a nutshell. If you’re looking for something to pass the time and you don’t feel like teasing the noggin, by all means try Beach Head. For the rest of you, you’ll probably get more enjoyment out of a game a Mahjongg or maybe even chatting on the IMG IRC channel.

First, it's easy to learn. Second, the basic arcade action is kind of fun in short doses. Third, you can save your game at any level so you don't need to go back to the beginning each time you load it up. Fourth, if you blow up a troop transport just as the anonymous enemy is exiting it, they all catch fire and dance a little jig before they idea.
