The Raw Power Pack for Formula Legends for Xbox adds three striking cars that deepen the game’s historical homage. Still, like the base game, their beauty sometimes clashes with the simulation-heavy mechanics. Read on for my full review.
A Stylish Expansion of Racing History
The Raw Power Pack is a DLC that feels tailor-made for fans who loved Formula Legends’ visual splendor. Each car is a showcase of its era:
- The Jorsey (1990s) – Sleek and refined, this car channels the aerodynamic breakthroughs of the early ’90s. Its elegant lines make it one of the most visually appealing additions, and it fits seamlessly into the game’s already gorgeous roster.
- The Superbows (1970s) – A bold experiment in design, this radical machine hugs the track with a low-slung profile. It’s a reminder of motorsport’s risk-taking spirit, and its exaggerated style makes it a standout in replays and photo mode.
- The Betaborneo (2020s) – A sharp, modern challenger that blends futuristic aerodynamics with raw speed. It’s the most performance-oriented of the trio, offering players a taste of contemporary racing innovation.
Carrying Forward the Base Game’s Strengths
As noted in my Formula Legends review, it is “gorgeous to look at, tough to love.” That sentiment carries into this DLC. The cars are undeniably stunning, crafted with the same attention to detail that makes the game’s circuits and vehicles feel like moving art. For players who value authenticity and want to relive motorsport’s evolution, the Raw Power Pack delivers precisely that.
Simulation Still Dominates
The challenge, however, remains the same: Formula Legends is a simulation-first racer. These new cars don’t change the fact that the game still demands precision—battery management, slipstreaming, and pit strategy remain central. While the Jorsey, Superbows, and Betaborneo each bring unique driving characteristics, they also punish mistakes. Casual players hoping for arcade-style thrills may find the DLC just as demanding as the base game.
Final Verdict
The Raw Power Pack is a worthy addition for those who appreciate Formula Legends’ artistry and want to expand their garage with historically inspired machines. It enhances the game’s storytelling through cars that embody different eras, but it doesn’t soften the simulation-heavy gameplay that some found frustrating in the base release.
