From a gameplay point of view the important advantage of hex is that every possible move from a tile is the same distance, but with squares up/down/left/right is shorter than the diagonals. This can be rather important if you're doing a strict turn based game (or not, depending on your gameplay).

Yep... and nobody ever notices.

Ultima did exactly that for years.

when i was young, i actually tried walking around while always facing south, because of ultima. it didn't work so well, but the game still kicked ass.
