Hashiriya: Ookami-tachi no Densetsu

About

Hashiriya: Ookami-tachi no Densetsu is a drift-focused racing game with a modest but functional setup. Players pick from 15 cars and 5 tracks to tackle in arcade mode against up to five rivals. Additional modes include a story-driven campaign, time trials, and a practice tool for mastering tight corners. The emphasis is on loose rear-wheel handling and slide-heavy techniques, though the control setup feels rigid on default PlayStation pads. The game’s biggest hurdle is its dated presentation and lack of multiplayer support. While visuals and audio are functional, they don’t distinguish it from contemporaries. Community feedback highlights the optional Negcon pad or the rare SLHP-00024 racing wheel as essential for smoother play. Despite its quirks, it carves out a niche for fans of drift-centric mechanics, though it trails behind sharper titles like Side by Side Special.
