All the islands so far are new. And there's a lot of nice scenes onboard 
ships that wouldn't really have been possible in previous games.

The usual cast of characters are there - Guybrush, Elaine, Voodoo Lady,
and now Murray. Haven't seen Stan yet. Lechuck is there too, but not as
we know him... not sure what to think of that storyline yet.

There's a couple of good new characters that recur between episodes,
and then the rest seem to be new for each chapter.

Ah... well I've been playing in a virtual machine and still getting
decent graphics levels, so it didn't seem to be that insane.
