Then why is Lord of the Rings, Bond and Star Wars on your list?
Terminator 3 has four, yes ,four developers working on it. Black Ops as the game developer, Legend (Unreal II) is doing just the weapons, Shiny (Matrix) is doing hand-to-hand combat and Melbourne House from Australia is doing sound design. Also, the guys who did Final Fantasy X prerendered cinematics are doing it for this.
Plus you've got real models of all the actors (scanned faces) and the voices for all four main characters. So, yes, it's a notable game.
Again, why you think your own personal list of what you think is cool should be a sticky is beyond me. This same topic has been covered ad infinitum in other threads.
