A shot in the head of the buyer

The Good
Hmmm... it works on Windows XP :) And the graphics and sounds are okay.

The Bad
Games like these are simply boring. You just scroll the background graphics back and forth, shooting everything that moves. This may be fun if you can play the game with a lightgun, but this isn't the case here. Okay, you can use rockets and handguns and stuff but there still is zero gameplay. And you won't get an end sequence anyway, because the game is virtually endless. Oh yeah, the levels will get harder and harder just because they add more and more enemies, but a good player can sit there for hours doing nothing more than shooting enemies without getting a reward. Highscore list? Who wants to see it?

The Bottom Line
Don't buy Beach Head 2000 - it stinks. Better put some quarters into your favourite arcade machine - or simply buy some better game :)
