Beast II does not work on my A3000 either.  I suspect it does not work
on any A3000.  It behaves just as you describe.

The fact that the game will load and show the opening sequence, but then
crash when the game really starts, leads me to believe that the problem
is with the game itself and not a problem caused by the copy-protection.
(Someone with an A2000 and 030 can verify this.)

That's too bad since it looks like a great game.  I guess I'll have to
play it on a friend's A500.  Sigh.
