Broken Sword 4 - available in North America?

fruithead · 07-14-2007, 10:38 AM

Just browsing some old threads and reviews and realized Broken Sword 4 completely passed me by. I remember hearing about it coming out and seeing the review here but I never once saw it on store shelves in Canada.

Was it released in North America? At the game's site they don't have an option for Canadian or U.S. info. Can't find it online either, at least not without shipping overseas. Anyone know where I can get a hold of it?

It was released in NA under the title Secrets of the Ark.

It was actually called Angel of Death, and it was fine. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.

ah, that explains the horrible memories.
well, As far as i can remember I couldn't stand the controll of Broken Sword 4. you could chose if you want direct or point n click. but he kept walking somewhere and get stucked so you had to make mini clicks...almost like putting down candies for a baby

I started playing but felt like I was getting nowhere, so I stopped and put it in my "play when I have nothing better to do" pile. The contols were awkward and the story didn't hold my attention.

BTW I bought it at Walmart in western Canada at least a month ago.

despite the criticism, i'll still pick it up if i manage to find it. i'm in the toronto suburbs and will definitely keep an eye out at walmart here, though they're game stock is hard to trace. random titles appear all the time.

I picked up BS3 way back when after much criticism and found that I liked it a lot.
