Is Spore For Everyone?

Is ‘Spore’ for everyone? ““I’m used to living in a world drunk on Spore anticipation […]. But among the newbies, there was a significant amount of uncertainty and performance anxiety. People weren’t sure they would be able to build something, even with encouragement and example. One even said, over my shoulder, ‘I’m not sure I’m creative in that way.’””:http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2008/03/opinion_is_spore_for_everyone.php The cartoony style (that crystallized along the way) answers some of my concerns, but I still doubt Spore will come close to the success of ‘The Sims’.
