Commentary:
Bamboo Spartan joins a long list of melee and short range plants. So Bamboo Spartan is going to need something special to make an impression.

Bamboo Spartan's shield acts like a Pumpkin barrier which gives this plant some durability. So if one needs a more defensive front line plant with decent offensive output, Bamboo Spartan fits the bill perfectly.

Bottom Line:
Like many plants in this game, Bamboo Spartan is not a bad plant. It's just that there are so many good plants that it is hard for many plants to find that niche where it can stand out above the rest.
