|PC: A port based on the international versions of the game which altered gameplay elements, nerfed the player character, added new enemies while tweaking existing ones, and inflated EXP cost for Sieg's Legions. Notorious for its broken DRM with earlier copies, and has issues on modern hardware setups such as texture corruption ([https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=672925#p672925 can be fixed]) and crashes during loading screens (use [https://robpol86.com/imagecfg.html ImageCFG] on the fixed executable to make it use a single CPU core).

Wii: Titled "Project Zero 2: Wii Edition" Based on Xbox Version. The game no longer uses fixed camera angles present in the first three games, instead of using the over-the-shoulder angle. The player is provided with a map on the screen to compensate for this change. A minor two-player mode is also supported in the main story. Many new cutscenes have been added to the game, expanding on the story, and several of the cutscenes from the original have been extended as well. The game is no longer determined by what difficulty has been selected. Instead, endings are now determined by how the player plays the game.
 
The game has a new theme song, not in the original. A new mode, Haunted House, has been added, replacing Mission Mode.

The Xbox version contains many updates to the game including enhanced graphics, new 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, new explorable areas, a new boss, new costumes and body armor, changes in enemy placements, and a three-tier charge attack to each weapon. Additionally, the inclusion of green souls adds a new dimension to the game.
 
Remastered version on PC as well as PS4 and Xbox One. Has higher resolution and updated models. But retains the original SD backgrounds, and doesn't include any update from the Xbox version.

|PS3: Stable frame-rate (30 FPS locked). runs in 720p or at an odd resolution (960x1080) if 1080i/p video is enabled on the PS3 so it may look a little off unless you disable those video modes.  Based on the PAL release but is missing some minor bonus content from that version. Due to some questionable changes on the climbing physics, several of the time attack fights are imbalanced in this version with at least one of them practically requiring an exploit to complete its challenge time on hard mode. Supports stereoscopic 3D but the frame-rate tanks even lower than it does on the PS2 version with it enabled.

|Windows: Port based on the Xbox version. Buggy, but the enhanced edition mod fixes all of the issues and adds a 16:9 aspect ratio, 60fps, higher quality FMV, and more, making it the definitive version.
 
 
 
Xbox: Has the same lighting as the PC version but with the PS2-style soft shadows left intact, fog issues (albeit less noticeable due to the lower resolution), poor audio, and the same relatively low-quality FMVs by default. Can run at 480p.
 
 
 
Windows, Xbox, and PS2 "Directors Cut (EU)/Greatest Hits (US)" versions contain bonus material.
 
 
 
PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code, resulting in an uncountable number of bugs and graphical/audio mistakes. Let you choose between the original voicework of the game or a new redub done by a different cast made for this version... though results may vary. Stay far away.

|PS3/360: HD version based on unfinished code, and completely removed the original voice acting in favor of a new (subjectively worse) redub by a new cast. Same issues as Silent Hill 2 HD, but even worse. Again; stay far away.
 
Windows: The PC version adds improved flashlight lighting, the ability to save at any time during the game, and 60 FPS gameplay. however, there are some points where the game will drop to 30. If you are running in HD, the DoF effects are rendered in native resolution, making them look pixelated but can be fixed with mods.

The American release of Blood Curse contains a slightly edited introductory scene, where a ceremonial stabbing is obscured by excessive camera shakiness.
 
The European release of Blood Curse includes an exclusive making-of documentary titled Behind the Curtain of Terror, which is accessed via the PlayStation 3's XMB Video menu.
