However, if you're playing with just the base game, 2p does have a little balance edge over 3p or 4p. I'd suggest using the rules from the On the Brink expansion and only including 4 of the 5 Special Event cards in the deck.
You really should leave all 5 special events in there since there are ways to alter the difficulty according to the rules.
The difficulty also really depends on the roles you draw. Some combinations work well in a two player game, and others are much more difficult to utilize. I wrote a post about combinations of roles that you might find interesting. It includes the expansion roles, but the general idea is still the same. (http://boardgamegeek.com/article/8164870)
The balance between 2-3-4 players is definitely off with the base game. 2p is the easiest, which is why the 2 Special Events per player rule was added with On the Brink.
