Yes, because a review isn't good until it reflects your own opinion. In case you forgot, the purpose of a review is to point out the good and the BAD of something. Frame rate issues is a bad thing that is worth pointing out in a review.

From german eurogamer.de review:

Detailed textures, effects send and a lot of details to make, especially on the Xbox first-class figure. Alone on the PS3 are the ones making frame-rate dips for annoying slowdowns. Our colleague from DigitalFoundry came in a few moments just at 15 frames per second. Too little to even begin to go through as a liquid. Disastrous for a shooter.

I dont really take note of any reviews to be honest. Most of them rate things out of 10 but have no idea what a scale is. For websites like IGN when a game is rated out of 10 it means that..

10- Perfect
9- Great
8- Average
7- Poor
6 and lower are never used

They gave Crysis 2 AND Black Ops an 8.5 for visuals. Give me a break.

The thing is, these review sites have multiple people reviewing products. That's where the difference comes into play and it's a god damned shame, because ultimately, it gives you no perspective on how good or bad a game compares to another. This is why you can only trust smaller sites with only one or two reviewers.

Big outlets such as IGN, GameSpot and so on just can't be trusted with that. And since this inconsistency carries on to Metacritic, you should also add a 5 to 10 point fail-safe to Metacritic scores. Depending on what you consider a must buy and not-so must buy, of course.
