Is there any way to record multiplayergames to review afterwards?

If you use a 3rd party utility, yes.
Fraps (not free) can do it, as well as Afterburner (which is free) http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

But this would only get my screen?
I would like to get the whole map information so all the players can review the game together.

Thank you for your replays.

I dont have Linux, and I believe the other programs (Fraps) just record your current view, not the whole map?
And I have windows 7 64 bit so Afterburner cannot record video :(

The only way you would be able to capture the whole map and all the action is to code in a recorder directly into the game. At least if you want to make a video of it.

The best free programs I've used for Windows are HyperCam and CamStudio 2.0. I like them because they don't put as much load on the system as others I've used.
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241
