An example of a good interface could be Civilization iv where all of the actions can be accomplished using pointing and clicking with the mouse. All of the interface things are clearly labeled with images representing what it does and overall it is just a very clear and easy to understand interface while also having many many different things going on at once.
An example of what I would call poor user interface is Mount and Blade. The game utilizes too many different keys to accomplish tasks. Until you are an experienced player any battle is practically impossible to win because you must constantly be remembering how to do seemingly simple tasks. There is very little response shown on the screen and the user is expected to control their own character completely like most rpgs but in addition they have to command their army or else they will just stand around and die.
