The biggest difference in ME2 from Casual/Normal/Veteran to Harcore/Insanity is that while only elite enemies have defenses (shields, armor, or barriers) on Casual-Veteran, all enemies have defenses on Hardcore/Insanity. This throws a lot of players off, and makes some powers seem useless or underpowered, typically biotics and other crowd-control powers such as Cryo Blast. This means that you must first place an emphasis on stripping defenses using guns or powers first before you can control them with crowd-control powers like biotics,
Enemies will deal more damage on Insanity compared to Hardcore, and their defenses are stronger as well. You may want to start on Hardcore first if you want to get a feel for it, unless you want the Insanity achievement, in which case go right ahead and jump in to Insanity.
