This is a good sequel pin from High Speed and adds the super charger that really adds to the action in the game. Great pin that should be in everyone’s game room.

Very fast game. He has no deep rules, but he can catch and like to come back again and again. Backglass and Cabinet Boring. But the game is great. "Roger 5-0-4, apprehend 'em."

This is my go to game to play when I just want to hit the ball around and relieve stress. Turbo is a cool feature. A few easter eggs as well to make it fun.

Great early DMD-game from WMS.

I never liked the theme or cabinet/backglass cosmetics of this game, as it looks like some cheap cartoonish style from early 80's arcade games. The art ist not outright ugly - but just something I viewed as boring and dated. When I first played it I almost wanted it to be a bad game- to justify that previous impression.

Boy -was I wrong ! It's a speedy and very intense game that sucks you right into it and commands your full attention. Funny shots and entertaining music/call outs. I like the turbo charger loop even more than the playfield toys on similiar themed games like I500 or Corvette.

It may not have the depth that other WMS games from the late 90's have, but this is a very decent and all around solid game that would be a great addition to any 3-or-more pin home collection.

I really like this game a lot. Its the one game my daughter wish I didn't sell. And I kind of regret selling it as I resurrected it from a local children's arcade/pizza place and the play field was literally black. After shopping, it looked about brand new...

A great, fun game, not super deep but definitely satisfying. Great add to any collection and recommend playing a bunch when you see it on location. The magnetic loop supercharger is cool initially, but kind of annoying IMO. Lots of noise and eye candy, limited satisfaction.

Fast , fast, fast!
This Game is great especially if you like cars, the design actually makes you believe the ball is a little car you have to drive around the playfield, supercharger is one of the coolest tous in pinball.

This is one that adds up greater then it's parts. The rules are simple, there arnt a whole lot of shots, but it is so much fun, it all comes together to be a real blast to play. The music is cool and fun. Supercharger never gets old.
Shift gear!

I love this game, so much flow and one of the best looking complete packages in pinball. Interactive topper is great. Pretty shallow rules but perfect for the table because crisp fast play is generally rewarded. Stuff around with it and the left out lane will eat you up. I hope I’m not looking at the past through rose coloured glasses but this game takes me back to what it’s all about. Fast, fun, simple, flow. PERFECT.

Pretty biased review as I’m a car buff, and this thing is singing my tunes, so right away I was digging it.
Even without my car passion this game always gets the new people to the game room engaged.
You can’t help but get excited when the supercharger sends the ball screaming around and the topper is flashing!
This one will probably never leave the collection.

Supercharger is really cool! But what comes to playfield there's not that much to shoot for. I liked the dots and music. But the playfield art is a bit too retro/comic.

A very simple yet effective game. It is a classic and I understand why it is well reviewed. Wonderful flow, plays nice and fast. Nothing like speeding away from the cops, and picking up random girls....

Another case where as much as I hate to say it, the sequel is the better game. High Speed is my sentimental favorite, but Getaway adds enough twists to put it over the top. Fast, fun, everything you'd ever want in a pinball machine. SR at the top of his game.

Super fast game, supercharger is great. Sounds and theme are amazing. Solid game. One of the few older B/W games that I really agree with where it stands in the top 100

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.

The follow up to Steve Ritchie's High Speed, this time with a turbo charger that accelerates the ball in the upper portion of the playfield. HS2 builds off its predecessor by incorporating a DMD. This is another game that is still pretty affordable and family friendly.

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.

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.
