Abstract

The present invention relates to a multiplay game system, and an apparatus and a method for providing a multiplay game in the system. Before starting the multiply game, action logs of other users who will play the multiplay game together are received from a service apparatus and are stored in advance. When the multiplay game is started, actions of other users are rendered on a current game execution screen by using prestored action logs of other users without performing communications with the service apparatus. Therefore, error of execution of the multiplay game caused by an unstable network state can be prevented by providing a multimedia game independently from a network state.
