In general, Max Payne 2 is easier than its predecessor. Max is more durable now while enemies tend to be weaker, except for two bosses. This change was made in part because it was designed more for consoles (and their gamepad controllers) than the original, necessitating the more arcadish "run and gun" feel instead of slower careful pace of the original.
Other new challenges include the protection of other characters. Most of the game is through the view of Max but some parts switch to Mona Sax.
