Rating: 70/100

Good: Very challenging, good action and a clever idea

Bad: Novelty wears off quickly

Review:
Combine Onslaught places you and your fellow rebel alliance mates in a house filled with crates of ammo. Within seconds, a massive onslaught of Combine soldiers take to the field surrounding the house and begin their assault. this small level is fairly clever and fun for a little while before the novelty of it wears off. as far as i can tell, there is no end to the onslaught. No amount of mayhem on my part was able to gain me victory. i suppose i should go back and godmode, or play on easy just to see if it ever ends. on normal skill, all of my team members would eventually die and my health and ammo would be running low when I was finally overwhelmed.
This is a fun little diversion, and well enough designed that the challenge is high, but not frustrating. Give it a go if you want to fill ten or fifteen minutes of your day with a good fight against an unrelenting combine attack. however, if it is a storyline or high quality gameplay experience you seek, look elsewhere.

basically you start off in a 2 story fort with some ammo boxes, health and shield recharge points, and some chums. you get a moment to get into position, then the onslaught begins. starts with troops, manhacks and drones, other units show up if you survive long enough. your buddies and the recharge points don’t replenish, so it’s a battle of attrition.
