XBLA: 'Minesweeper Flags' Announced, Previewed

Tik Games has finally announced the 'sequel' to a classic Windows game with Minesweeper Flags, and both Team Xbox and IGN have gone hands on with the game.

The game comes with several modes, including a campaign mode, a classic mode, and a new flags mode.

Campaign Mode is a series of 140 of these terrain-based boards spread across the seven continents. You start with North America, which gives you boards surrounded by wildlife (such as bears and deer), a lake with a boat and similar views. When you get to South America, the boards have grass that’s a bit more scarce with such visuals as stone statues, cactus and grazing llama. When you get to the last puzzles in Antarctica, the whole terrain is covered with snow, with buildings, penguins and snowmobiles dotting the landscape.

It also includes a multiplayer variation of flag mode, playable offline and over Xbox Live.

Check out the Team Xbox preview here, which includes the games achievements.
