Retro Replay Review

Gameplay

The immediate pull here is simple: you add four heavily modified Japanese cars to GRID 2’s selection, then get to see which one becomes your new favorite. That is a modest hook, but it is an honest one. The Auto Gallery Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32), Tomei Cusco Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Mazda RX-7 PANSPEED, and 5ZIGEN Honda Civic Super Modified give fans of this corner of car culture a much more pointed reason to care than a generic vehicle pack would.

What starts to click is the shape of the collection. This is not four versions of the same idea: the Skyline, Impreza, RX-7, and Civic bring four very different names and tuning traditions into one purchase. If you already enjoy GRID 2 and like switching cars to freshen up your time with it, the pack has a clear use. Picking a favorite out of the four is part of the fun.

Frustration can set in if you come in expecting a DLC expansion rather than a four-car add-on. There are no extra gameplay modes or events attached to the pack’s stated contents; the cars are the entire proposition. That makes the buying decision unusually easy: if at least one of these specific machines excites you, it has a purpose. If the lineup leaves you cold, there is little here to change your mind.

Graphics

The draw is seeing four famous modified-car names join GRID 2’s car roster: the boxy R32 Skyline, Subaru WRX STI, Mazda RX-7, and Honda Civic each carry a distinct silhouette before you even get into the particulars of their tuning. For a vehicle DLC, that recognizable variety is its strongest visual asset.

Story

Super Modified Pack tells its story through selection rather than narrative. It gathers four Japanese performance icons from Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, and Honda, with each listed in a named modified form rather than as an ordinary road car.

That gives the add-on a coherent enthusiast angle. The Skyline and Impreza immediately bring rally and all-wheel-drive associations to mind, while the RX-7 and Civic broaden the set with two very different compact performance legends. The pack feels curated instead of arbitrary.

Still, do not buy it expecting a new tale or a campaign thread. Its only real arc is your own: choose a car, put time into it in GRID 2, and decide whether one of these tuned machines earns a permanent place in your rotation.

Overall Experience

Super Modified Pack is a narrow but sensible slice of DLC. It does not try to overstate itself: four cars, all aimed at gamers who already know exactly why a Skyline GT-R, WRX STI, RX-7, or Civic might be worth adding to GRID 2.

The payoff is strongest for a Japanese tuning-car fan who has already spent time with the base game. In that case, the pack can give your next races a new focal point, and the varied quartet makes it more appealing than a single-car purchase. You are paying for affection and familiarity as much as extra garage space.

For everyone else, it is an easy pass rather than a bad one. There is nothing wrong with a compact car pack being just that, and this one has a nicely chosen roster. Its limited scope keeps it from being essential, but the cars are distinctive enough that the right GRID 2 fan will get real mileage out of them.
