Definitely above 8 feet, not 7.
I remember a dev stating a figure greater than 8 feet.
I'll check the vid again though.
He's always been the son of Zeus, so I'm guessing his status as a demi-god had something to do with it.

After reading up on some of the comic book's synopsies, it seems like Kratos, even before getting his powers, was pretty damn tough. According to some of the summaries, Kratos had, among other things:
-Slain a pack of wolves singlehandedly as a child when working to prove his worth as a soldier
-Took on a group of Satyrs (one of the more nimble monsters in the series) with his men.
-Survived an attack at sea from one of Poseidon's Leviathans (after Poseidon got pissed off when Kratos killed his "champion").
-Took out out a giant sea snake on his own (and apparently in little time) by stabbing its eye slicing it's neck.
By these showings, Kratos as a normal human must be at least around the same level of skill as certain Links or a Monster Hunter. If anyone can get the scans though, that'd be great.

The Spartans are attacked by a Tidal Wave, and then a Whirlpool: 01 02 03 04 05
The Spartans are then attacked by a Gigantic Snake, which Kratos easily disposes: 01 02
Leads his men deeper underwater in order to escape the whirlpool: 01 02

^Epic stuff with the firebird. It seems to me now that Kratos was always superhuman and not just after Ares awakened his powers. Since Alrik, the barbarian king was also a champion of the one of the gods(Hades I think), it makes sense that he was superhuman too when Kratos fought him in that battle where he made a pact with Ares.

Just posting another hypersonic feat that Kratos has shown that I only now realized.
3:51-4:13. As the no name Doomsday looking Titan falls into the water, look how small he looks next to the cliff he's falling by just before he hits the water. Remember, we have a height for the titans. Stig Asmussen gave us a figure of 1600 ft. That's almost a third of a mile. (5280 ft) After he falls, one of the Leviathans come charging out of the water.
Mach 5 is a little bit over one mile a second. The Leviathan seemed to cover six or so miles in a second.
Kratos reacts to a lunge from a Leviathan in the opening seconds of this video.
I think Bloodrain had a go, i think hes probably one of the strongest characters, if not the strongest in games vs for his size (and beyond, but not super beings).
1.Someone should calculate Gaia's weight. Shouldn't be too hard I guess? The Empire State Building is ~370,000 tons. Gaia is nearly 400 feet taller, a couple of times wider, a couple of times deeper, and of course much denser. I can't math that, but I'd put her at least 2 million tons.
2. Then recall one of the leviathans was able to stop a punch from Gaia dead.
3. And then in the video I post above, Kratos pushed back a full charging Leviathan.
Even then, it would be difficult to get a ballpark figure I imagine.
Then recall that Titans have been said to be able to throw mountains by the devs. Not hard to believe when Cronos has been holding one on his back for centuries, and Atlas holds up the upper half of the world. Even if all the other titans were only 1% as strong as Atlas, they would still be able to do it. But of course Cronos isn't that much weaker than Atlas, maybe half as strong going by their relative performance in the Titanomarchy.
^ Neophyte Kratos would be Kratos when he became Ares' servant, or Kratos just after he became the Ghost of Sparta. This was a Kratos who had had a number of years (at least 10) of experience with the BoC.
Though compared to peak GoW2 & GoW3 Kratos, this one was of course, immensely inferior.
