Half-Life 2 does look pretty sweet... but even so, a good portion of it's "wow" factor is due to the physics (which become less "wow" by the day, as just about every FPS uses Havoc these days), the AI Scripting events (like when the strider puts its leg through the white coat guys) and the facial technology.

You're right not to be too blown away by Dark Sector. We've seen, very little (so much, that I wonder why they've even bothered releaseing the teaser), and there certainly wasn't time to show Physics, AI and complex Character animations... But what is there does hint at more detailed environments than Half-Life 2. Those corridors looks pretty curvey, and the particles system looks fairly developed... But its still got 2 years of development to go anyway, not to mention the fact that the hardware they're developing for is more or less theoretical, so they presumably have to run it on the best of today's hardware...
