You need to survive as long as you can. There is no end in sight here, you will die and your bunker will be destroyed, but you may do better than you did the time before it. This works very well for an arcade game, but with Beach Head I feel that they could have added in some kind of story or some actual point to be fighting this war.
I have heard many people categorize this along with its predecessor as a first-person shooter. While I would agree that the game is played from the first-person point of view. I do feel that this has far more in common with light gun shooters. You are in a fixed position and you can only rotate a bit on each side. That is the only movement the game gives you; I do not really have a problem with this. However, I can see why some people would be put off if they came into this thinking it was a first-person shooter.
Each time you start a new mission, you never know what is coming. You may have to shoot down a bunch of soldiers coming from the sea, some tanks, aircraft or you may even have to fire off flares so that you can see, before shooting down those that want you dead.
The basic idea of each stage is that you have a limited number of guns to make use of and you need to kill everything that is coming your way. It is pretty mindless stuff, but it can be a fun distraction for 30 minutes or so. It can be very rewarding when you do get in a groove and just start mowing down wave after wave of enemies.
Sometimes it is like enemies can spawn out of nowhere and I have seen stuff flat out fall through the map! So, the game is lacking a bit of polish. Average Rating: Ratings.

Also, the scenery is rather nice. These three things stand out above the rest of the visuals, but let's not let the lack of astounding graphics distract us from the real forte, which is the gameplay.
Beach Head is highly addictive and easily learned. The degree field of battle and primary weapon firing is controlled by the mouse. Weapons are changed by using the space bar, and a few other keys.
Since the player is in a stationary bunker, there is no movement involved. It doesn't get much simpler than that. The controls can be learned in a couple minutes, but mastering your opponents will take much longer than that due to the fact that the levels just keep on coming, and they don't get any easier as you climb higher into the later stages.
Much like the lackluster visual effects, the sound is adequate. The background music played in the game menus strikes a stunning resemblance to the Rambo theme song. Maybe, but then again, maybe not. Sound effects during the game leave a bit to be desired. Sounds of men dying, depressing as they should be, never fail to draw a laugh. Maybe the producers were going for the dramatic effect, but what they ended up with is a little on the cartoony side.
