Шаблон:Infobox video game Beach Head 2000 is a first-person shooter game developed by Digital Fusion. It was originally released by WizardWorks for Microsoft Windows and MacSoft for Mac OS as a "value-priced" release. A loose remake of the 1983 computer game Beach Head, it shared a similar premise, as players defend a beach against attack by utilizing a variety of weapons. A version of the game was also produced for video arcades by Tsunami Visual Technologies, available in various motion simulation cabinets and Digital Fusion continues to sell the Windows version as a download via its website.
Gameplay
Players take the role of the sole gunner defending a beach against invading enemy soldiers, tanks, helicopters and other military attack vehicles. The player utilizes a variety of weapons, including a gun turret with a machine gun, howitzer cannon and guided surface-to-air missiles. A handgun is available as a final means of defense. The mouse is used to aim. Additional ammo and health are available by shooting packages dropped with parachutes.[1] Missions end when all enemies are defeated, each mission changes the spawn point of enemies on the beach. There are infinite missions and the game has no ending.[2]
Reception
The PC version received "generally unfavorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3] GameSpot said that the game becomes repetitive when taking out the stream of enemies in each level.[1] A review in AllGame said that "the initial appeal of Beach Head 2000Шаблон:'s single view wears off very quickly" and compared it unfavorably to the original Beach Head.[2] Inside Mac Games commented that the game was not worth the relatively low price, even among a limited selection of Mac OS games.[4] However, IGN had a more positive reaction to the game, comparing it to Missile Command and calling it "strangely addicting".[5]
The PC version was nominated for the "Worst Game of the Year" award at GameSpotШаблон:'s Best and Worst of 2000 Awards, which went to Blaze and Blade: Eternal Quest.[6] It was also nominated for the "Best Sound in a PC Game" award at The Electric PlaygroundШаблон:'s Blister Awards 2000, which went to Deus Ex.[7]
Sequels
