PlayStation 2 · 2004
About this game
This is a side-scrolling beat 'em up and shoot 'em up combo based on the 2009 animated 3D movie of the long-running character from manga and anime.
Astro Boy must save Metro City from President Stone and his robots while fighting through levels on the ground and in the air.

In addition to fighting combination moves, he can shoot a laser from his fingertip and use a special attack if the energy meter is powered enough.
These include an Arm Cannon, Butt Machine Guns and Absorb (recharges a portion of health).
Find different power-ups and costumes in hard to reach and hidden areas.
In addition to singleplayer, there is 2-player multiplayer co-op on Wii and PS2 where the second player controls another Astro Boy with a different costume.
In Story Mode, if one person dies, they can later rejoin game with full health after some time elapses.
But if both die, then the game is over and must be started over.
There's also an Arena mode where both players fight with robots to determine a winner with the most points.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Astro Boy for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Astro Boy to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2004.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Astro Boy has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
