Hyperloop is cool... had fun with it for a few weeks.. but it didn't keep me wanting more for a 90s game.. much preferred TOM flow.. and game code... zztop was cool for a theme song.. but that too got super repetitive

This one is just okay for me. The loop is fun, but not nearly as good as the Hyperspace loop on Star Wars Premium/LE. Rest of the shots and layout are okay, not great.

"The Getaway" is a machine that moves fast, from the theme to the audio all the way to the gameplay. The game is a nice shooter with a great toy in the Gear Shift plunger (which plays a role in the game even when you're not using it to shoot the ball into the playfield at the beginning of at turn) and the Supercharger Engine which roars to life at the very top of the table and awards you 1 million with each spin on its "belt". The two side orbits are easy to hit and I love the inner orbit loop which takes up the center of the game. The only issue I have with the game is that the rules don't seem very deep and you can hit Redline Mania with ease. Also, depending on your tolerance level, hearing a re-worked version of ZZ Top's "La Grange" can begin to grate. However, it's saved by some great audio (the Supercharger Engine is insanely cool) and the Jackpot and Gear Shift cues are excellent. Overall, I really grew to love this table. It's an engaging table, immersive as hell (a blower, when it works, is a nice added touch), one anyone can play and come to master with a little hard work.

Great game another fast Ritchie game. Love the supercharger and the fast and frenetic play. The music is great. The only con is I don’t like the 3 bank drop target in the middle, it stops the flow of the game and could be better positioned. Quite a simple layout but great fun when the red light is flashing as well. Another keeper.

The music was VERY repetitive, but a pin sound set up has transformed the game into one I enjoy much more.

Love the game. It’s a fast game that nicely fits the theme. The multiballs are intense!

Pros: “La Grange” (perfect music for theme), simplicity, supercharger is very cool toy, intensity of multiball & redline mania, overall game speed, always want “one more game”.

Cons: low number of shots, cabinet and backbox artwork is only okay.

I owned this game for a while but was not a keeper for me, at least for a small collection. The turbo charger is a fun gimmick for new players. I found the shots to be surprising tough, especially the most important ones. I did like the use of the rpms for advancing the game and using the plunger to shift gears. After a while the game started feeling too linear and unforgiving. I definitely walked away feeling discouraged a lot after playing this game. I do appreciate how silly the theme is when you think about it, perfect for an arcade setting.

Owned getaway many years ago and have just recently bought another one to put in the collection.
This machine plays extremely fast and smooth the shots are not to hard yet still requires a bit of practice to master. The supercharger really adds to this machine when you get that baby cranking with the music pumping it really draws you into the game.
Great longevity in this game i just want to keep coming back for more & more one of the best Williams machines i have ever played love it

Love me some Steve Richie, they call him the King of flow and this games has it. Also the game features the hit song
"La Grange" by ZZ Top, what more could you ask for????

Great fun, the supercharger or whatever its called is a really cool gimmick/toy.

Not many difficult shots, plays fast, the video mode is a little more satisfying than most.

I really enjoy the "shift" feature!

Iwasthebruce has this game on the wishlist.

The rules are easy to follow but always give the player something to try for. Between advancing gears, collecting stop lights to enable locks, locking balls, hitting the supercharger, etc., there is plenty to do. Hitting the outer loops is a tough enough shot to make this game quite challenging. It's hard to beat how fun this game is.

I finally got a chance to play "The Getaway: High Speed II" and I must say that this machine is FUN!! I cut my teeth on the original HS and wasn't sure if TG:HSII would "wow" me but I really like it! The kept the best parts of HS, reimagined the board with some popping tricks and did something wonderful: they made a game that I now am in the hunt for! It's a fresh take on a classic giving a whole new experience but with a familiar feel! It's closing in on 3 decades as a design and it's still a favorite!

It could of been a lot better and you can lose the ball easily and the score goes up very fast if you shoot mostly ramps

This is a fast table and, overall, a very fun game. The shifter and supercharger are great, and the multi-ball lock sequence is very good even though the animations are weak. Love the ZZ Top LaGrange soundtrack. Yes, there is buggy code and the video mode is not too hard, but Red Line Mania and Super Jackpot gets everyone’s attention in the game room – the topper is awesome!
