Cars 3: Driven To Win Will Be An Argos Switch Retail Exclusive In The UK

Weird, it's quite rare for games that aren't even collectors editions to have exclusivity nonsense in the UK.

A tie in game for Cars 3 that's not a free-to-play money grabber? Sounds great! How much is it?

-spits coffee everywhere-

£49.99?!

I would actually play a cars game that was a moderately decent racer. Kind of a missed opportunity if you ask me.

"What's interesting is that the boxed retail version of the game will be exclusive to UK retailer Argos, and priced at £39.99 this is better value than the eShop version."

Hardly surprising to be honest..... eshop prices are always a rip off in comparison to their physical counterparts

I noticed it was exclusive a few weeks ago. Really strange. I might consider it, depending on reviews and the movie, when it's a lot cheaper and if I'm still working at Argos, for the discount.

"Who knows, it might even become a collectors item one day!"
I was at National Motor Museum at Beaulieu on Monday and they had the Cars Videogame on PS2.....

Is it just me or does the graphics on this look...off? I mean, there is nothing wrong with them precisely but it feels...soulless.

I'd say based on their choices of limiting release for a game like this, it should be called "Cars 3: Driven to Fail"

Cars again ? On 6 different consoles ??
Oh well...
Disney version of Initial D.
Btw, let's hear this first...

Talk about limiting your chances of success.

Anyone remember Wacky Races on the Dreamcast?That was a great game.I'd completely forgotten about it until today,I was writing a list of my top 10 games in the forum and from nowhere,that fantastic racer came to mind.

This is just another reason for the devs to moan when games don't sell in the numbers that they should.
I never understand limiting the sales of a standard box game to one retailer, unless the game is garbage and the dev's not expecting the game to sell well anyway.

after seeing the trailers some cars textures where pretty rubbish

Luckily for this American dweller, I can easily pick this game up from a local Target.

And ugh. The light sarcasm in this article is killing me! The Cars games are actually very good! They aren't like most movie tie-in titles. Don't be so hasty to judge!

Loved Race-O-Rama, but with FAST RMX, Mario Kart 8+, and Redout on the way, not sure I'll be getting this one (at least not at launch)

Frustrating that a retailer can have exclusivity of a title. We want as many consumers as possible to see the range of games available for the Switch!

No.

Looks like Cars 1...graphic wise....

I'll stick to MK8 unless this has that open-world feature.

@Anti-Matter Genius

Screw that, you'll want to hunt down the Wii U version. Now THAT is likely to fall into rare value someday. Just look at games like Hello Kitty and Turbo for Wii U (In the US anyway, PAL copies still are reasonable prices)

This is weird, because when was the last time a movie tie in was released on a console and not the App store?

Easily the worst Pixar franchise and I don't even want to watch the film let alone play this crap.

@ClassSonicSatAm: The open world was the best part of Race-O-Rama!

@Angelic_Lapras_King: And the Wii U version is $10 cheaper than its Switch counterpart.

Cars 2 was actually a great movie tie-in so i'm definitely interested in this

@Phin68 Cars 2 was a pretty good game. It had a good amount of replay value and fun with some other people

@Malcrash The Cars 2 game is precisely why I'm telling people not to sleep on this. I honestly think that game does some things better than Mario Kart (particularly in single player).

@Grandpa_Pixel It's just a rush job to get it released alongside the new Cars 3 movie. Like so many movie based games.

99% of the movie based games are total crap, hence why these games have a bad reputation.

I'm going to get here in U.S. at retail

Also retail exclusive games aren't too weird for us Americans. One for the Switch being Has-been heroes

Even less people will buy it now.

I just can't get over that the cars in a racing game are saying "ouch!" when you hit something.

@OorWullie I enjoyed the hell out of wacky races!! Lol

@Jeronan But nowadays, most of them aren't THAT bad. Cars 2 was good, but Toy Story 3 was great. The PS3/360 versions of Transformers Dark of the Moon and Rango are also really solid titles. And also Ratchet & Clank is a great movie tie-in game (along with it being a remake and a sequel)

hype!!!

The question is: "But Mariokart?"

@Destron Missed opportunity?

Well the first two Cars games were pretty good so I'm slightly looking forward to this one. Although, it looks too similar to Cars 2. Also, isn't it weird how this game is being developed by WB Games?

If this game is exclusive to Argos why did Toys R Us have it on their shelves today????????
