The First Game that reach CG quality?

Soft shadows work quite well with depth mapped shadows as well.
Global illumination is a very wide term, there are many possible implementations for it. Generally far too slow even for movie VFX.
Caustics are easily faked with projected textures and are the least important IMHO.

I got a question about The Chonicals of Narnia (I know it's spelled wrong). Are the animals 100% digital or did they just take a real animal and digitize their mouth?

Depending on the scenes, AFAIK some of the wolves were real (so the CG ones had to look 100% similar), and the lion was a puppet in some of the scenes, when the kids hugged him and thus had to make physical contact. The rest were all CG, as I've heard.
the cgi of narnia was made from WETA the same company did king kong. now if they can fully digitize kong and interact with real human being and digitized human. why couldnt they do it with aslan and the kids? the part where those 2 girls holding on aslan's mane was definetly cgi to me.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
The CGI work was handled by three companies: Rythm and Hues, ILM, Sony Pictures Imageworks. Weta Digital has been working on Kong all the time; Weta Workshop created armour and other 'real' props for Narnia.
Kong isn't 'digitized', but I would rather not go on to describe the full process... let's just accept that things aren't as simple as you think.

So they had a real puppet like gorilla on the set doing all those crazy fighting and jumpind moves. Sounds confusing and I can understand why you don't want to go into depth about it.

the style of doa4 don't aim to realism, but the clean graphics call in some way the CG quality of titles as "toy story" (;D infamous toy story) "the incredibles" and so on
