Only true in the sense that 'Braveheart' is a source on Scottish history...
The written record from Iceland was written for entertainment purposes centuries after the events it purports to chronicle. There are few archaelogical sources supporting the written claims, and a number of contradictions. Using it as a historical source is extremely doubtful.
Nothing to stop it making a good game though.
