It sounds like you at least ran the red light. After you run the red light and you hear the cop call dispatch, the bottom of the table will flash periodically until you shoot the ball up the ramp and escape, which will then activate multi-ball.

I absolutely hate this game. I enjoy Pin-Bot (actually played me a game of that one too), and even though similar, I find myself cursing a ton at High Speed. I'm not very good at pinball games to begin with but at least all of them that I have played I've gotten some kind of fun out of, but not this one.

Best I can pull off so far:

Score upon game over 2,463,210

This game is kind of meh. I got lucky with that score. My last ball went right down the middle. Maybe 1,000 points on that ball. I think the other pinball game we played a few months back was better.

That tumbleweed can kiss my ass. Nudging the table only gives mixed results. Sometimes you get let free, most of the other times you are dropped straight down the drain. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be shot.

Thanks, but I know there are a few people that are sandbagging their scores....
It is all good, upped this one by a couple thousand...every little bit helps...

Don't forget to edit out your previous score and picture if you make a new post!

and a side thought, if you quote someones high score it might make things a bit neater if you remove the pic from that as well.

Damn,
I have been playing this all morning...can get to 7-9 mil consistently..then is just seems like the game wants to shit on my head...always down the drain or Tilting in it never did last time.
O'well...maybe take a shot at it tomorrow...

P.S. This is the first game that has made me throw a controller at the screen in a LONG LONG LONG time...another reason I still play NES and use a Boob tube...could you see a PS3 controller through the LCD? That would SUCK!

Not right now.  Benihana has the lead with a little over 20 million.  Just when I thought I would be able to take the night off from this game   It's all cool, though.  His score is very impressive.  Gonna give it another try and see what I can do.

Hope to see you in next week's contest, Christian.  We missed you the last two weeks.

I was going to try at this one again tonight but some Ebay/Paypal shit done got me in a bad mood, and playing this game would make it even worst. Doesn't matter anyway, I suck at pinball games.

I managed to get a few games in while Missa was at work today. Just glad I am going to make the top 5 any extra points would be nice...

I wish I had more time to play this one. I thought it sucked after a few games, but when got the point of it, that's actually a pretty funny pinball game. I knew RARE could not make a game that bad.

In the middle of a really good run right now, but I'm gonna run out of time on this one. If I beat my high score, I'll post it just for fun.

Congrats on the win, Matt. You played the crap out of this game this week and definitely earned the win. Good job, man on an awesome score.

Congrats Beni and Bimmy on the top 2 spots. This was definitely a challenging week... hopefully next week brings something slightly less frustrating.

Yeah, congrats to Matt!
You pulled one fancy score to top Bimmy's score here.
Always nice to have more competitors in the contest.
