Not even close hS2 is epic

Terri:It's not my role to have a preference - I sell the apples. If you want me to sell the apples, I'll sell the apples. But if you want me to sell oranges, then I'll go and tell people that the apples, the apples are shit Olly, they're shit - I'll say go on, check out our oranges.

Hugh: Do you have a pref- which do you prefer, you know, apples or oranges?

Terri: Apples!

Hugh: Apples?

Terri: Apples.

Hugh: OK, thank you!

Glenn: Hugh, if we are going to spend taxpayers money putting violent thugs into productions of the fucking Cherry Orchard then we're gonna get crucified, and rightly so!

Hugh: Hang on a second - Terri, which was apples, was Olly apples or was Glenn apples? Oh. She's gone.

Seriously though...yeesh! Tough call. I'd lean towards T2, but I really don't feel there is one superior to the other in this match up.

Getaway by far. The music and sound effects are way better than T2. Although I think the T2 theme is cooler, the game gets a little boring doing the same thing over and over.

I have owned both. I just traded HS2 for DM and I'm putting T2 up for sale shortly.

Here is what I think:

T2 Pros
Arnold's voice is really cool
The payback time mode is awesome
And the sound effects are really good
Has Two ramps

T2 Cons
They made so many that EVERY pin person either has one or already had one
It's not very difficult to master (had mine a year now and I'm crazy good at it.. I think)
No wizard mode

HS2 Pros
ZZ Top Soundtrack
The theme matches any 80s Burt Reynolds movie
The loop Champion thing is cool
The supercharger is a very nice addition
Some really nice DMD animations
The voices from the game will stay in your head (in a good way)

HS2 Cons
It's pretty hard (at least to me)
Short ball times

I would expect that you'd have an easier time finding a T2 and would pay about $300 less for one. So if it becomes a toss up, T2 will probably win by default.

If you are looking to buy something that will still be challenging years down the road, I'd get HS2. I hope this helps.

You (IMHO) have asked the masses to select between two of the most evenly matched pins around. I don't think you can go wrong with whichever game you decide to keep. But, since you asked, I'd probably keep T2.

T2 is cool.....but I'd keep HS2 by a long shot

Getaway for sure.

WOW!! I really thought it would be much closer than that.

I'd keep Getaway!

Another strong vote for HS2.
For one thing three flipper games are superior to two flipper games. Both games have two ramps. Rulesets are similar in depth. But getaway is just a keeper.

I need to learn to read. You asked which to keep and not which to buy.

If you were selling, I would sell T2. It isn't a long Term keeper and is easy to find if you decide you miss it. HS2 is worth more though (I think). And you can get more $$$ or trade for it.

i sold my getaway, still have my t2. getaway is nice, maybe will get one again, but i would play t2 before getaway. everyone is different though, and i see getaway is running away with this poll. time to get back to playing funhouse and drinking beer

There is a T2 "members only club" and we only have 1 other guy that recommends T2, Sheesh!!

Looks like we need an HS2 owners club.

Looks like you're the founding member, Astropin.

Keep the Getaway HSII

When I bought my first Pin in October, the guy I bought it from had both T2 and Getaway. I thought I'd be buying Getaway, but after playing both, choose T2. I guess I as expecting more from Gateway.

Also, T2 has WAY more mods......

I give t2 only a slight edge due to it being one of my favorite movies of all time.

Why choose?

Remember, you can make T2 your own!
