From the tech standpoint at the time it was regarded as an achievement. On the plot end, I would NOT recommend using it as a model for a game. It idolizes a terrible and shameful era of American history. See the description at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation

This film is incredibly racist and unbeliveably innaccurate (historically, it does actualy protray what people did think back then). We watched a part of it in my History class to see how the KKK was vied by different groups of people.
