Back in the PSOne days, Capcom smartly mixed Jurassic Park with Resident Evil and ended up with Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, a fantastic survival-horror series. Being chased down a narrow corridors by a Raptor, or being cornered in a small room by a T-Rex, was terrifying stuff. Dare I say, even more terrifying than a hoarde of zombies chasing after you.
Unfortunately, the DC games were never as popular as Resident Evil and, after the disasteriffic Dino Crisis 3, Capcom didn't continue ...
"Generally, the first rule when it comes to rescuing hostages is ‘don’t let everybody get horribly done in.’ But sadly, this proves too much of a stumbling block for many game heroes.
