Would it be appropriate for a game to change the orientation of the screen on startup?

Hi, all! A little question I'd like to have your opinion about. The problem is that sometime it's more comfortable to design a game in landscape mode 320x240 rather than portrait 240x320. So I have an idea to programmicaly change the screen orientation to landscape on startup and change it back to original on exit. How do you feel about that?

A lot of games would be better in landscape mode. I don't mind if it switches to landcape mode.

I had some software which rotated the screen the wrong way (at least for my tytn II).

The result was that I had to hold the device with the hardware keyboard on top instead of at the bottom. Makes typing a bit difficult.

It should be user selectable if the screen rotates clockwise or counter clockwise.
