It is possible to make a 1 to 1 copy of some games, but because of the burner used or the drive reading the burned copy, the game doesn't recognize the copy protection of the original disc, and won't play the game. In other words the copy you made will most likely install just fine, but the protection is missing from the disc, and the game won't play. You might find more info in the copy protection forum after searching for that particular game. Hope this helps.
