The game goes black screen because it forces the resolution of your monitor, maybe to 1600 x 1200 at over 85Mhz refresh rate wich most monitors cant handle.
So what I did was to download a utility to force refresh rate and screen resolution to any one I wish to.
In my case I use 1024 x something @ 85Mhz this is the max my monitor can handle. and the game runs.

Do you have to use a controller of some sort for this game? Every time I try to play it claims that my controller is unplugged and i must plug it in to continue playing....

Ok, I just tried using an xbox controller but it still says "controller is unplugged, please replug it or press spacebar to continue."

The only thing is, I can't press spacebar, and replugging the xbox controller doesn't do anything.

Try going into Control Panel -> Game Controllers -> Advanced and make sure that your gamepad is listed as the preferred device.

That's fixed some weird controller issues in games for me before.
