Rarely is sorting through after-battle loot handled as poorly as it is in Dungeons & Dragons Tactics.

While this PSP title from Kuju Entertainment is a mostly satisfying look at hardcore role playing, courtesy of slavish attention to D&D's version 3.5 rule set, a spectacularly awkward interface slows the action to a crawl both before and after the long swords come out.

Venturing into the bowels of the earth to slay dragons and load up on gold pieces has rarely been so tedious. Despite the title, D&D Tactics is actually a fairly straightforward turn-based RPG.

The emphasis on tactical combat is only about as pronounced as you'd find in something like the old Gold Box games, which actually seems old-school appropriate for the debut of D&D on the PSP.

Battles are the primary focus here, making the pace more measured than the standard contemporary RPG. But even though you need to have some appreciation for the 3.5 edition of the pen-and-paper D&D rules to truly enjoy this game, combat intricacies aren't too over-the-top.

For the most part, you just need to have a reasonable idea of how to use each character class when it comes to melee and ranged fights, as well as some common sense when it comes to whipping out area-effect spells, such as a fireball.

If you're a total newbie at this stuff, at least there are four opening tutorials to get you up to speed.
