It depends on if the scratches run from the edge to the center or they are circular. CD is read like a record, laser moves around the circumferance of the cd, the better the laser the more skips it will fill in, but even good laz\sers can not read when the scratch is in the groove. As long as the top (the foil part) of the cd is not damaged you should be fine, the data is on that, the bottom of the cd is just a thin plastic disk that the info holding part is bonded to, if you buff it down to clearness the cd is fine. So do not put a cd on the label to protect it, if you scratch that game over, throw the cd away.
