actually, this *is* 3d. all of the added components are using 3d computations, from the geometry and light sources you specify but it's using a 2-dimensional skin.
nothing new though. games were doing this a decade ago (albeit on a more primitive level) before 3d was able to look as good as the preferred prerendered 2d backgrounds.

later they took the games to the next level by substituting static backgrounds with cg loops. which would animated scenes with flickered light or a swaying chandelier. still, the objects in the scene were lit correctly because of the geometry outlined for that area.
stil though, it's amazing what they've accomplished
