This is an odd one. The Hardys have a missing persons task, to track down a dead warlord's daughter and return her home. It means we get a trip to central Africa and the made up country of Zebwa bordering Kenya which they fly into. Seeing as the made up country is part desert wilderness and part Rainforest, I'm guessing its half Uganda and half South Sudan. As is typical in Africa the country suffered from civil war and corruption.
Also for some reason they've made a tsundere ginger Iola Morton. I repeat Dark haired sister of Chet, ginger. The back story here is that she is entering a beauty pageant to win a scholarship. Joe can't help as much as the case takes him to France. He does get a simp called Jim Gunther who she picks to help.
The winner is the girl they are tasked to find. The trip back lets them pilot some Metal Slug style mega tank and gas light us about the Hardys never firing a gun, forgetting the original House on The Cliff and Fox hunting bit in the Original Cabin island. Gunner Chet Morton is pretty fun as well.
All in all its not a bad story if you can overlook ginger Iola Morton, It feels like a prototype version of a casefiles story from 3 years later. Although Iola is killed by a car bomb in that time line.
Anyway Original here UK version here. You aren't getting much different just Landrover spelt like that and a few French words added that may be in the original.
