In terms of graphics, it looks pretty good; the enhancements for this version were great to bring it to modern systems, while staying extremely faithful to the original.
Co-op

12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The improved AI was the best feature for me, since I enjoy playing in solo mode, offline.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As for sound design, well, it's good; there's some good music, great narration for the base campaigns (in the DLCs, I'd say it's a 50/50), and each civ gets its own voicelines for units.
