Worth it? For everything but strategy games I would say no. But isometric 2D
views
do look quite attractive(I'm talking about square tiles not hexagonal). Check
this page for details of how to implement Isometric Tiles.

If you want more try Amit's page which contains tons of game related stuff,
especially for tile based games.
