About this game
Ibara is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up.
The back story revolves around a group of sisters, led by Professor Teresa Rose, who want to destroy all technological progress in the land of Edelweiss, essentially turning it into a rose garden.

Players can choose to either lead the characters Bond or Dyne and their airplanes through several levels of "bullet hell"-style gameplay in an attempt to defeat the sisters.
The player's weapons arsenal consists of a main gun and bombs.
Bombs must be collected in fragments, and once the player has all of them, the Hadou Cannon can be used.
Staying behind the cannon will make the player invincible for the duration of the effect.
Additionally, enemies drop various "options," up to two of which can be attached to the wings of the plane to further increase fire power.
The game has a ranking system.
If the player does really well, they go up in rank and thus boss battles will be a lot harder.
Rank can be strategically decreased either by dying or by collecting roses, which are created from enemy bullets when the player sets off a bomb.
Scoring works by collecting gold medals dropped by destroyed enemies.
They must be quickly collected to keep up a scoring chain.
Once a new medal pops up, and the medals on screen already haven't been collected yet, the chain is broken.
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 Ibara 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 Ibara 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 2005.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

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.
