I REALLY enjoy the "shifting" aspect of HS2 while your playing. I never got to "redline mania" but I hear great things. Another thing I LOVE on HS2 is the superchager. That thing (when tuned properly) can get spinning so fast it almost feels like you have a Shaker Motor, haha.

T2 is a completely different game all together. The gun is a fun toy but can get a little "old" after owning it for awhile. I like the call-out's and all movie references (because T2 kicks ass).

All in all that is a real tough choice and I would easily own either again (for the right price). I would personally probably get a T2.

(but that's only because I've owned a few HS2's in the past and only ever owned one T2)

I own HSII and have owned T2...both are great pins but HSII wins hands down.....Supercharger, Beacon light, the classic callouts....and car themed...a real keeper in my collection

I'm looking for either of these!

Good question though, not sure which I'd like better over the long haul (not that I'd ever keep a pin long anyway).

HS2 but with one exception, the ZZ top theme. If you can handle listening to La Grange a couple hundred times a month, then HS2 hands down. My significant other is not into pinball and if I talk about HS2 she says "Is that that one with the stripper music?" ...... yes dear ....... that's the one........ T2 is awesome and I think HS2 just edges it out not by a ton. One thing to think about is T2 is usually cheaper. Good luck!

They are both great bang for the buck and also not a great single pin. THey work better in a collection of at least 3 I would say. I do like HS2 better overall. When you first get the police chase going I imagine you can't help but grin.

I only own HSII but I can and do play it for hours, many times a week. Never get tired of it.

HS2 easily. T2 is still the least favorite pin I've owned.

HS2 by far. I would still have mine but it's hard to find one with a nice cabinet. Will prolly buy another one if I can get a nice one.

I haven't had either in my personal collection, but I have played both about at least 20 times. I like both, but HS2 seems a little more fun. I like the shifting, super-charger, theme.

T2 is really cool and nice for being first true dmd. Yes, GI came out first, but it was just thrown on and not built around the dmd like T2 was.

Both great pins for the price.

HS2 Easily over T2 , and I found 1 today.. She also has a DW , Rock-Ola Juke Box and a Old 5cent 1-Arm Bandit Slot..

I'm wait-n to see if her Grandson want's to let the HS2 go. I want the Slot also..
Not Sure what Yr the Rock-ola is , but it's Loaded w/ 45's

( Dog Will hunt ) !!!

No way I'd let a cabinet prevent me from having a game I love. My HS2 is a bit faded, but I love it.

I haven't played enough T2 to compare.

DO it ,,, !!! DH is Cool ,, But HS2 Is Alot Bettter ....

ha! that's how I got my HSII, I traded a DH for it....glad I did it and never looked back!
Black Rose, great find, hope you get'em right....that HSII looks like she's still bright red....Daawwwwgg will HUNT!!

Ive got someone coming tomorrow to look at buying my HS2. I like it but was really looking for an original when this one came around. Im letting it go so I can have an opportunity to own a different pin. T2 is loads of fun as well. I guess I would say they both shine in their own way.

pinside ranking HSII #28 and DH#82

Both are good but I prefer HSII. You can really get the ball moving.

Hmm, every pin being talked about here ranks very high for me. Own T2 and DH and probably won't part with either for a long time.

T2 hasn't become boring to me. Though, one you realize that the Super Jackpot is 50M points it becomes all about getting that and nothing else.

Would love to add HS2 to the collection.

They are readily available from Planetary Pinball or their distributors.

Terminator 2 is all theme. HSII is fun as hell. High Speed all the way!

strony agree. I also sold my t2 and still have getaway.

HS2 bay far. Helps if you have a few others games so you can mix it up. Supercharger is one of the neatest toys and it's a pure rush to play. You can also use install the P-4 roms to change things up and it will feel like you got a new game since it offers a few different rules, like a 2 ball multiball at 4th gear.

I would have to say HS2, even though I haven't played T2 for many years. I have been playing my HS2 almost every day since I got it home a few months ago.

Still kicking around the idea of cabinet decals but at $240 its just not worth it to me at the moment. I did get mine for $600, so the added cost would be a little bit more justifiable, maybe someday....

I want a HS2 sooooo bad.

Both are fun and affordable thought if it came to one or the other. I would pick HS2 better theme and lOnger staying power.

"I have a deal to trade my Dirty Harry for a HSII, what do you think?

My DH is really nice and his Getaway is nice, but with some fade."

Both are worth about the same, but if your DH is in nicer shape I'd make him kick in a few hundred. I'd love to find someone willing to trade a DH for my HS2. HS2 is fun, but I'm kinda bored with it - time to move on.

HS2 for sure. T2 feels like you are shooting ramps and loops. HS2 feels like you are building towards the red light, turbo charging the engine and then....the chase ensues. HS2 is more fun and doesn't get old imho.

I've never owned a T2 but I just picked up a HS2 a couple of weeks ago. I am enjoying HS2 more than I thought I would. If I had one complaint it would be the video mode. It scores way to high and it happens way to much. I was able to turn down the length in the adjustments but it still scores 32M. 7M more than a jackpot! If left a default it scores 50M. It should max out at 10 in my opinion - and I wish there was a way to disable it altogether.

Currently running P-7 proto ROMs. Two ball supercharger mode is cool, you get crazy points for getting both balls in there a couple of times. My extra balls are disabled and current high score is 760M.

HS2

I miss owning one!

The T2 theme is awesome and it's pretty fun for 25 or maybe even 50 plays. But it's got no longevity. All the shallowness of a System 11 with none of the fun. I was seriously bored within the first week of ownership, and that didn't even happen with what I consider to be the worst post-mid-80's pins of all time (GI, ID4).

It's fun to play a couple games out in the wild, or put in your collection if you have many pins and won't play it all that often. But if you play every day or even every week...go with HS2.

Just bought both..........I personally think DH blows them both away

Meh, you don't play the cabinet I always say.... Congrats, I love my HS2 and the cabinet on mine sucks.

Nice BR! The Rock-Ola looks 60's. The Slot looks great...get it if you can. What year? 50's?

Still No call from the Lady !! I made her an Offer , Just wait-n on her Now .. Yes , I want the slot too .. I want Everything...

I have a DH and HS2 . I would say HS2 is my pick i was woundring any one want to trade DH for ? . i would like T2 or something close .
