We tried Microsoft Project 2003, and, after overcoming the initial revulsion,
found it to be actually quite powerful. It took a couple of simple VBA scripts,
however.

My advice is to force yourself to spend at least 4 hours with it, entering
all your data - including dependencies, deadlines, and assigning tasks.

I don't know what you mean by "lot of small tasks" - we have on the 
order of 300 tasks for the software team, and 700 art asset tasks;
tasks are estimated to take something between 1 and 5 days.
