Dungeons & Dragons Tactics is the best thing to happen to the D&D license since Wizards of the Coast commissioned the first Neverwinter Nights PC game.
The user menus and interface are done amazingly well on given the small screen with limited controls. This game is definitely not for the casual gamer but if you give it a chance its merits can be large and rewarding.

If you are a fan of 3.5 D&D you will enjoy this game, and it is probably more like a 9/10, if you are not, you will probably not get much enjoyment. The menu system is pretty clunky and could have used some work, and there are a few minor flaws in the rules adaptations, but generally this is a great adaptation of the 3.5 rules (something we aren't likely to see more of now that 4th edition is out). It really is a lot of fun to play, from the tactically minded perspective. It is driven by exploration, fighting, and improving characters, not really by story.

This game would be better if they have more detail for customize character, a litter bit better graphic too and a tutorial for new player who never play DnD before should be great. I believe most people who gave bad score for this must be unable to spend dozen of second to check through the action menu or the explain text provided for each and every item and skill which player who spend hour for a room in paper and pen version see as small task. Wish someone can pick this up and have a remake which improve story line, graphic and more of customize of character creation and game play

What's impressive about D&D Tactics is the fact that the game manages to cram almost every aspect of the pen and paper franchise onto a small UMD, but that comes at a price. The menus, combat issues and other exclusions really hamper the experience.
Far too technical to be described as being fun. For the hardcore only. [Dec 2007, p.82]
However its unintuitive user interface, horrible graphics and some frustrating game lock-ups, which can occur at any time for no reason at all, really damage what would be an otherwise average game.
D&D Tactics flings lines of text at you, and none of it is well written. There's no effort made to provide well-developed characterization, yet there's a lot of time wasted on excess words. Worse, the default speed passes them by so quickly that I was usually three or four words from the end of a line when it faded.
It's just a shame that the developers couldn't balance implementing authentic rules with playability.
Interface is terrible, gameplay is incredibly inauthentic (Scorching Ray is NOT supposed to be an area effect), etc. Oh, and if you have 500 feet of tunnel to go through with no enemies along the way, you have to tediously move every character every single foot of that in turn. God help you if you have a character that moves 20 feet or less.

Major interface flaw -- why didn't the programmers add a command to call your 5 other party members to assemble when not in combat instead of having to control each one turn by turn? This is an utter waste of time.
Additionally, it's not D&D v3.5 accurate -- e.g. Monks don't get a Wisdom bonus to AC, rapiers aren't light weapons, Mage Armor stacks with any armor, etc.
Even if this game would normally appeal to D&D fans able to overlook the other flaws, it's lack of rule authenticity will just cause frustration.
