This changes when a small robot named Clank shows up on Ratchet's doorstep. Unfortunately, his small stature and lack of obvious heroic qualities means that Captain Qwark, leader of the Rangers, wants little to do with him. Ratchet and Clank follows the story of Ratchet the Lombax, a good-hearted (if explosion-prone) young would-be hero who dreams of joining the Galactic Rangers. It's modernized just enough to be accessible and more than familiar enough to be a great addition to the franchise. (The game is self-aware enough to joke about that.) Despite those odds stacked against it, Ratchet and Clank is an example of a reboot done right. That's right: It's a video game based on a movie that's based on a video game. It's technically a tie-in to the upcoming 'Ratchet and Clank' movie. Ratchet and Clank, a remake of 2002's similarly titled Ratchet and Clank, has an even tougher task ahead.

A bad reboot can sour people just by being too different. Their intended goal is to modernize a dated story for a newer audience, but a successful reboot needs to balance change while keeping things familiar enough to not alienate fans of the original.
