If iron sights are a must if you're playing a FPS. Then obviously you're going to rate it lower, and I don't see the problem with it.
But, if before reviewing you don't like a fundamental aspect of that game. Should that person be allowed to do a professional review?
Runa reviewed FFXIII-2 on this site, Despite not liking the original at all. etc.
But then again Gamrreview isn't hehe.
there's people that would rate halo low because it's not their cup of tea. Just like people rate movies low because it's not their cup of tea and it shows in rotten tomatoes.
I think for reviews to show the broadest opinions, they should have people review games that don't like certain things with the series and do this for all games. All scores will probably drop, but a lot of review sites send reviewers that already expect to like the game particularly with AAA games.
This will cause people giving positive scores, to say why a certain negative aspect from other people doesn't bother them, but why it could bother certain people. Instead of just looking at a game foaming out the mouth.
Currently reviewers create a circle jerk where some AAA title gets an inflated score. (not saying halo4 is one of them).
