Game is a blast. My first DMD. I bought it 10 years ago and I like it more everyday. The supercharger is great fun. The police light on top spinning around and zz top music are awesome. Clear goals, progression through different modes, gear shift to plunge the ball and for use in video modes and shift gears into the next level. So much to like.

Love the supercharger and general flow of the game. Great for a couple quick games, but after a few months, there were just not enough shots to make. Probably would be great in a large collection, but in my small collection of 3 pins, there was just not enough to keep my interested.

One of the all time greats. It's one of the machines that got me into pinball and I keep going back 25 years later. The rules lack depth by todays standards but are pretty bloody good. The thril of hitting the Super Jackpot is right up there with a T2 Super. Some classic call outs and somehow I never tire of ZZ tops La Grange.

Great game all around. Although gameplay can be a little repetitive to me it never gets old. Between the red light, speed loop and music it feels like a well balanced pin. One of my favorites and looks great with a color dmd.

High Speed II surprised me by how much fun it is. It's so freaking fast . . . seriously. A loop shot sends the ball SCREAMING back at the flippers. Keeps you on your toes, for sure. The supercharger is pretty cool too, and the jackpot sequence (when it counts down how many loops you need) gets your heart pumping if the volume is turned up enough. The artwork in general, though, is a bit lackluster. I was expecting a little more.

TLDR; great game except for the artwork. Would recommend.

Not very fun, the original High-speed is much better.

A real blast to play. Love the gear shifter. Really makes you feel like you are in a real car chase even more than high speed did. Seems like it could get old in a smaller collection though, but would still love to own one. Backglass looks excellent.

One of those machines that must be played if its in a collection. I love High Speed and this is just a little better in some respects. The Supercharger is a really cool gimmick that really draws you in. The backglass is a classic. Music and sound is excellent. Forever in the Top 100.

Although in theory this should be a better game than High Speed and I agree intellectually, that's just not how I feel in my gut. I guess in some cases less is more. That being said, The Getaway (HSII) is a solid and very enjoyable game. The art, sounds, and DMD animations all come together and there is something viscerally rewarding about hitting the supercharger. It some ways, HSII is an easier game than HS. With HS, a major strategy for high scores is to play multiball and collect the jackpots. With HSII, starting MB is made significantly easier in some ways in that you can lock balls from a trapped ball to the left orbit. Conversely, locking balls in HS is always a risky combo shot from the upper right flipper.

Considered alone, HSII is a great game that I would love to add to my game room, but for some reason it just hasn't made it to my official wish list yet.

I really love this game and play it whenever I see it on location. The turbo charger is an awesome mech, you have to see it to truly appreciate it. There is an inner loop and outer orbit shot that can be repeated for combos that is really satisfying. The music is ZZ Top's La Grange and is stellar! Add in the the flashing lights, police siren sounds, and the gear shift and you've got a great game.

ZZ Top's music is a pretty key element of this game and fits very well. It's simple, fast and easy to figure out - the perfect antidote to a JJP machine. Not better or worse, but always fun and endlessly popular with my non-pinball friends.

It is a constant in my collection and on location. The number of people that have played Getaway a thousand times and will still post up and put $5 in it on a regular blows me away. It has an immense presence in the pinball community and it's simplicity and perfectly laid out shots are timeless. Hard to believe you can make High Speed better but they succeeded.

Great party pinball. Fast gameplay and good flow that can be extremely satisfying. The beacon, gear switch and super charger add to the party flair. Always a good play on location in combination with a beer. Rather short ball times also make it fun to play in a group.It does not have a deep rule set and I doubt it would last long in a private collection unless you like to party a lot at home :)

One of my favorite games without question!! “I’ll be right over honey, just one more game!!” I love the layout and the rules of this games. The biggest issue regarding Getaway is the art, it needs to be redone!

People might argue that this one is sort of shallow and repetitive - I don't think so. It's just pure fun - sure, it's not too complex, but it's challenging anyway to get high scores. I really love the theming, everything goes together so well - it's ecstatic, wild and "loud" - it really delivers fast paced action. If you get the jackpot, red line mania, the machine freaks out. I also love the physical movement that comes from the turbocharger, it makes the game feel quite alive. For me, one of the best tables ever made. I guess I will never be able to sell it unless I'm starving.

Was not expecting to like this game as much as I did. End of the night, waiting on friends to leave and figured I’d try it, very happy I did. The game plays fast and with the engine sounds it is themed really well. There are limited ramps but they are easy to hit so it’s often that you’re doing laps and increasing your speed which is fun. Love the mechanism in the middle that zings the ball around the track, pretty satisfying. The lighting is themed and fits, but the green yellow red is a bit jarring to stare at if you’re having a good game.I like the music, but definitely repetitive. Good game, plan to play it again.

Nostalgia definitely plays a role in my feelings for this machine. That being said I find it extremely fun for players of all skill levels. Shots are pretty basic but the rules are deep enough to keep even high skilled players challenged.

Let me start off by saying I am a car guy. So the theme is right up my alley.
I had a HS and the only way that game left my home was for a HS2. Whats not to like with this game. Simple ruleset. Difficult shoots. Awesome light show. Just simple fun pinball.

Game is not hard to figure out.....but what a great game to play. Supercharger is a great feature. I love locking balls. The dots, sounds, and shots make this game a classic. Great in a larger or smaller collection

Pros - a fast game with a well integrated theme. Good overall sound package although the music is just ok, The gear shift is fun and the supercharger is a cool feature - especially when you get more than one ball whirling around. The siren topper caps it off very nicely. Good rules overall and good objectives. A fun game that gets the blood pumping!
