Don't buy it folks unless you like single player, the multiplayer servers were turned off a month ago.

Don't bother - no multiplayer and this was the bargain price from over a year ago when it did have multi.. I just uninstalled 2 days ago, disgusted at this. What is the shelf life of a game tied to a proprietary system which for commercial reasons gets disconnected after time.

How many points of failure will games have in the future?

Internet
Steam network available
privately run game servers available
master authentication servers available

And no sorry I'm not all that interested in the single player(although it is fun)! Rant over!

Yes using a lan, or even a wan.

Tunngle was a suggestion for those that wanted to continue.

It's actually more complicated than that, I was simplifying.

So presumably the end of multiplayer support was because this middleware license lapsed (the game was released almost exactly three years ago).
GameRanger still provide mutiplayer for Grid in some fashion (I have yet to test it out) and they are based in perth to boot.

GameRanger - play your friends online
