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.

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.

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!

Game needs another ramp. Fun for a quick game or two, but can’t play for hours on end.

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!

The good- Fun, easy to understand, go to game when I just want shoot the ball. Third flipper (yes I am a fan), Layout, turbocharger, simple but challenging multiball. MUSIC and sound- pinsound is a must for this-original ZZ Top songs and upgrade speakers. Otherwise sound and music are meh. After playing 50+ games in my early pinball career my son and I saw this game tucked in an arcade corner (by the bathroom no less- so nobody was playing it) and gave it a try. We instantly liked the game and it is the second machine in my collection. Solid high quality game that survives routing and keeps on ticking with very few issues.
That bad- cabinet art- really none to speak of (who cares? I don’t, but it is very generic). Lot of these games around- not much collector value. By today’s standards, shallow code. My wife is not a big fan- she likes the bright new games- like GOTG and BM66.
Overall- highly recommend. Get it, play it, keep it (most likely) or get all of your money back (or more) when you sell/trade.
