Update: It's been over three years, three DLC, dozens of mods and almost two hundred hours of gameplay and this is still the definitive way to play Age II. To date my favorite RTS multiplayer game and a close second for single player, falling just short of Homeworld's incredible campaign.

Also, wow was I a lazy reviewer three years ago. I suppose I kind of am now still.

Original review:
A classic in high res! I've played it quite a bit since its be re-released and I just picked up the new DLC.

A must have for fans of the series and of classic RTS games!
